BBM is the No.1 app in affluent South Africa and No.2 in the rapidly growing market of Nigeria. And both have intriguing regional strengths that might make them as valuable - or even more valuable - than Viber.īoth Viber and BBM have been on a rampage in Africa in recent months - but BBM trumps Viber in the two key markets that make up more than 80% of Africa’ smartphone subscriber base.

The acquisition will no doubt reignite speculation about other mid-tier messaging apps. Viber has 300 million registered users and is known for its strength in Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia. Needless to say, 2013 is going to be a really amazing year for Viber users everywhere.Japanese internet powerhouse Rakuten announced that it acquired Viber for $900 million.
