Since last weekend, when a Trump executive order came into effect that prevents anyone born in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya from entering the country, even if they have the green card and permission. residence of the United States. Many are the technology companies, apparently the most affected, that are expressing their discomfort. One of the most affected companies has been Google, who has seen how 187 of its workers cannot return to the United States because they were born in one of the seven countries mentioned above. But except wailing and crying out to heaven, little more is being done by these companies that claim to be the most affected by this new law that will initially last 3 months, but with the possibility of extension.
Viber, one of the instant messaging companies that more successful in Arab countries, and that has been offering VoIP service for many years to make calls to landlines or mobiles in other countries, like Skype, in addition to allowing calls between users for free. The company has just made an announcement stating that due to recent events in the United States, it will allow free calls to any landline or mobile number in the United States, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya, so that telephone communication is not another impediment.
All users who reside in any of these countries and who have contracted or want to contract a rate or voucher to make calls to these countries, it will appear free of charge, so they can make calls without being deducted from the rate. The company has not specified the daily minute limit for this offer, because it sure has a limit, since Viber is not a company like Skype that you can afford to give away unlimited calls. A good gesture from the company, which also wants to take advantage of it to gain popularity in the United States.
