Just a few months ago, Skype competitor Viber previewed voice calling on
the BlackBerry platform. Viber is available on a multitude of
platforms, including iOS, Windows Phone 8, Bada, S40, Symbian, and the
list goes on.
However, BlackBerry represents a good chunk of Viber’s user base (it’s their third largest platform behind iOS and Android), and yet it’s still in the minority of Viber apps that don’t have access to voice calls. Today all that changes. Viber has pushed out an update for BlackBerry users to version 2.4 of the Viber app, finally bringing free voice calls to BlackBerry users for the first time. At first, the update will roll out in a beta version to push the feature out as quickly as possible. Later on, Viber will release the official update.
The update to version 2.4 also squashes some performance bugs for BlackBerry OS 5 users, and has sped things up for users who are sending stickers to their friends.
In terms of voice calling, users running OS 5 and OS 7 will have access to free voice calling on both WiFi and 3G.
