I cant make any overseas calls. Is there hidden steps that I overlooked or does my account permit it ?

Viber can actually be used as VoIP as it can be used to make calls to regular phone numbers without the other person needing to have Viber installed.

A VoIP app such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage or Viber would also work for long distance calls anywhere

Overseas calls are extra , you need to buy extra Long distance add-on , unless you are in one of those few plans that include some Long distance calling minutes to selected countries. Check your plan.  And where you trying to call?
