Maximize Delivery Success with Viber Messaging and SMS Fallback
For companies relying on mobile messaging, delivering time-sensitive updates isn’t optional - it is expected. With Viber Business Messages as your primary channel and SMS as fallback, LINK Mobility ensures your notifications are always delivered, no matter the connectivity or device type.

Why Use Viber for Business Messaging with SMS Fallback?
Viber is a widely used messaging app with more than 1 billion users. It supports rich content like images, buttons, links, and long messages - making it a versatile tool for business communication. But not all users are online at all times. That’s where SMS fallback adds value: if the message cannot be delivered via Viber, it is automatically sent via SMS to ensure reach.
Benefits of Viber + SMS Messaging Strategy
Combining Viber Business Messaging with SMS fallback gives businesses the flexibility to reach users with rich content where possible - while maintaining guaranteed delivery even without internet access.
Below is a side-by-side comparison of the two channels and how they complement each other:
How the Viber Notification Flow Works
Primary Channel: Viber
The message is sent via Viber Business Messaging.
If the user is active on Viber, they receive the message with full interactivity.
Fallback Channel: SMS
If the message cannot be delivered on Viber (e.g. app not installed, no internet), the SMS fallback automatically triggers.
The user receives the same essential information in plain text.
This ensures full message coverage without duplicate communication.
