What is "Viber"? [Telecom]

I was wondering if anyone in the community knows anything about this app?

Traveling to Japan recently I was looking for some way to make calls with my phone over wifi (since Verizon apparently had their head in a dark place when they told me my phone would work there).

Skype would do what I want, but I don't believe there's an android version. I have a Google Voice number, but the GV integration doesn't use the data connection by itself. There was an app that used the gmail calling feature, but Google removed that external API recently, and it was a PITA to use anyway.

This looks promising, but the skeptic in me says, "what's the catch?" As I'm fond of saying, TANSTAAFL.

Regards,
