I have been trying to activate my phone number on Viber but constantly receive the “Activation failed” error. I’ve double-checked my internet connection, restarted my phone, used the “Call Me” option, and even reinstalled the app — nothing works. My phone number is valid and active, but the app won’t proceed past the verification stage. It’s extremely frustrating and disappointing, especially since I rely on Viber for personal and professional communication. Please fix this issue or provide an update with a proper solution. Many users seem to be experiencing the same problem recently.
