Hi, I have a problem having viber to recognise my friend's contacts as a viber contact, although they in fact are using viber.
One thing I observed is that this happened right after I sorted all my contact list to include international number prefixes (i.e. +06, etc). It is right after that my friend's contacts stopped having the viber indicator next to it.
Anyway to fix this rather than having to remove the international number prefixes?
PS: I'm using Iphone 4.

QUOTE(Viber @ Aug 2 2011, 05:48 PM) @sugen - we released Viber for iPhone 2.0.4 about a month ago, but major updates are only planned to be released in a few months or so. @ENTj - recognizing your contacts should work regardless of whether you saved the number with or without the country prefix (that is - if you are talking about people in the same country as you). In other words, you should be able to save a number either like this: 011-XXXX-XXXX or like this: +60-11-XXXX-XXXX Try this workaround: Enter Viber and find a person you know has Viber in the "All" contact list. Enter his details, change a digit, save and exit. Then enter his contact again, change the digit back (to the original, correct number), save and exit. Wait about 10 minutes and see if he's recognized as a Viber user now. If it doesn't work, please try manually dialing the number in its FULL format (including the "+" sign, the country code, area code, etc.) Thanks! worked like a charm.  Seems like it needs to 'refresh' abit to acknowledge other viber users.
