Viber Voice Call Failed: Verify Number via SMS in 5-10 Seconds
When Viber can't complete a call, the app offers "Call Me" or "Send SMS" options. While this seems solvable, sometimes the call never arrives and SMS gets delayed. This article shows how to buy a virtual number for Viber and instantly receive the code via GrizzlySMS. Average delivery speed: 5-8 seconds, with 99.6% success rate.
Why Voice Calls Fail
-
VOIP call blocking by carrier or corporate network
-
Wide NAT or dynamic IP on mobile data

Incorrect regional SIM card settings

Temporary overload on Viber gateways during peak hours
After diagnosis, switching to SMS with a "clean" virtual number is the easiest solution.
