Breaking: RIM introduces BBM to BBM voice calls

I totally did not see this coming, but it’s here. In an exclusive interview with one of RIM’s directors, he did say RIM had plans to continue to support and bring great features to BlackBerry as we know it before BlackBerry 10 promise kept. BlackBerry have introduced the ability to make voice calls between BBM contacts. The Service which is called BBM voice lets you make voice calls over wifi to BBM contacts by simply tapping the call button while in a chat and you’ll start a voice call. BBM Voice will add some great depth to BBM, providing you the ability to escalate a chat to a voice call when the situation calls for it. This feature should be huge in emerging markets or for anyone calling long distance as there will be no long-distance charges.

Additionally, in BBM you’ll be able to see each users status as well so you’ll know who is available for a call and who isn’t. When on a call you’ll see a split-screen view and can still use any other apps on your device. So you can still use the chat function as well as send pictures within BBM or even check email or use the browser.
BBM Voice is included in BBM version 7 which is available in the BlackBerry Beta Zone that’s now open to Nigeria.

BBM Now Lets You Have Voice Chats for Free Over Wi-Fi

WATERLOO, ON – For the times when you want to hear a friend’s laughter instead of reading LOL, BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM^TM) is taking the social networking experience to a whole new level with an exciting new feature called BBM Voice. Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced BBM version 7, a free update for the globally popular mobile social network, which will allow customers to make free voice calls to other BBM customers in the world over a Wi-Fi® connection*.
BBM is a fast, convenient and inexpensive service for BlackBerry® customers that gives them the ability to instantly chat with a friend, family member or colleague, and know when their message has been delivered, and read. With the new version of BBM, customers have a new option – they can talk with their BBM contact across the globe for free over a Wi-Fi connection. In an instant, customers can switch between texting and talking, or talk and text at the same time. For consumers, especially in developing markets, the BBM Voice feature offers an attractive way to talk with friends and family near and far, and staying in contact will be easier than ever as the holiday season approaches. For business customers, BBM Voice allows for enriched collaboration.

“BBM is the quick, easy way to stay connected to the people that matter to you, and with today’s announcement we’re expanding the capabilities of the service for deeper social engagement and even greater collaboration, beginning with voice functionality,” said T.A. McCann, Vice President of BBM and Social Communities at RIM. “The new BBM Voice feature is for when you’re travelling and you want to call home without worrying about phone charges. It’s for when you have news you can’t wait to share, for quickly explaining complicated details, and collaborating with colleagues. Whenever your ideas are too big for text, there’s BBM Voice.”

BBM Voice includes a number of convenient features.

• Customers can initiate a BBM Voice call directly, or instantly switch from a BBM text chat to talk, and back again.
• The split-screen feature allows customers to talk and text at the same time, so for example, they can send a picture to their contact while talking with them. They can also check other BBM text chats, check email, or navigate to other apps while engaged on a BBM Voice call.
• BBM provides a visual indicator that shows when contacts are available for a voice call.
• BBM Voice is compatible with any accessories a customer has now for making voice calls on their BlackBerry smartphone, such as a Bluetooth® or wired headset. Customers can also use BBM Voice over their BlackBerry smartphone’s speakerphone.
• If it’s not an ideal time to talk, customers can simply choose to respond by texting back.

Another important feature of BBM version 7 is its integration with a customer’s BlackBerry ID, which is designed to back up their BBM profile, groups and contacts so they can automatically be restored in the event they switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone, including to a BlackBerry® 10 device.
BBM version 7 with the new BBM Voice feature is currently available in Beta for BlackBerry smartphones running the BlackBerry® 6 OS or higher with support planned for smartphones running the BlackBerry 5 OS at a future date. The Beta can be downloaded for free from BlackBerry Beta Zone**. Customers can sign up to BlackBerry Beta Zone for free at www.BlackBerry.com/betazone

* BBM requires a BlackBerry service plan. The BBM Voice feature requires a Wi-Fi connection with access to the Internet and may not be available in all markets.
** BlackBerry Beta Zone is not available in all markets.

Trending Way to Make Money"Can You Sell Your Breast Milk?"

BUYING breast milk is almost as easy as popping to the shop for a pint of semi-skimmed.

Simply place an order online at Only The Breast, then wait for your special delivery.
It’s estimated cash-strapped mums earn more than £10,000 a year by selling their excess milk over the internet, though many choose to donate it to the NHS.
Onlythebreast.co.uk have several categories including milk from mothers with fat babies, those on a special diet or those “willing to sell to men”.
Here, three nursing mums tell how they have been pumping out a profit – and we talk to the health experts who warn buyers to beware

Claire Thompson

CLAIRE, 21, lives in Glasgow with her partner, Patrick, 23, who is an engineer. Claire is on maternity leave from her job in administration and looking after their four-month-old daughter, Lucy. She says:
“I had one call from a lady who wanted my breast milk for her husband, who she said was suffering from multiple sclerosis.
Apparently, the nutrients and antibodies in breast milk can help people with MS but just the thought of it made me feel a bit queasy, so I said no.
I won’t sell my breast milk to men.
I have discovered there are some quite perverted people out there and I have become a bit wary of answering my phone since placing the advert.
I have loads of extra breast milk and would be quite happy to give it away to a hospital for free but I’m not sure if anywhere would take it.
My motivation for doing this is twofold. I want to help other women and the money is useful but that is secondary to my desire to provide a useful service.

Milking it ... Claire Thompson helped a woman who couldn't breastfeed after cancer treatment

I had reservations at first about posting my details online because I was concerned there is no effective health screening. But I am glad I did because recently I had a call from a lady having cancer treatment and she can’t feed her baby herself. So I sold her about three weeks’ worth of breast milk, about 95oz. I am selling my milk at £1 an ounce, so I made £95.
I express the extra milk using a pump then store it frozen in breast milk bags.
At the moment the website seems to run on trust — that the women selling their milk are healthy and don’t have any infectious diseases.
I know I don’t smoke or drink but how do the women buying my milk know I am telling the truth? I think it would be much better if there was some kind of screening process. My partner Patrick was worried at first because he thought — rightly, as it turned out — I might have some calls from weirdos.
But I will persevere because I like to think my milk is going to a good cause.”

Jelena Harris

RESTAURANT supervisor Jelena, 28, is on maternity leave. She has a two-week-old daughter, Annabelle, and a daughter, Nicole, two, and lives in Street, Somerset, with husband Daniel, 24, who is the general manager of a restaurant. She says:
“From the moment Annabelle was born I was bulging with milk. I was producing far more than I could ever feed to her.
Daniel and I talked about it and he said maybe I could sell my milk. He went online and found the Only The Breast website.
This was only two weeks ago but I am getting lots of enquiries and already I have sold 100oz at £1 an ounce, which is great money.
I express the milk then store it in breast-milk bags in my freezer. I have lots in store, which could be worth a fortune.
I am a healthy non-drinker and non-smoker and my midwife had commented on how thick and creamy my milk seems to be.

Waste not, want not ... Jelena Harris says she produces more than Annabelle needs

Adam Gasson

Annabelle is putting on weight, so she is thriving on my milk. To me, this makes perfect sense. We can make money we really need, other women desperately want fresh breast milk to feed to their babies, and otherwise I would be just throwing it down the sink.
I had just as much milk when I had my daughter, Nicole, but at the time there was nowhere you could sell your milk. Only The Breast is a website which has been set up here from America and it seems to be attracting a lot of attention.
I haven’t had any odd enquiries yet but there is a section on the website which says: “Willing to sell to men.”
I wouldn’t have a problem with that — apparently breast milk can help with all kinds of medical conditions.
I now have more than 200oz of my milk stored in our freezer and I am making more all the time.
Daniel is being very supportive about it all. This will bring us in money without any cost to us. All I have to do is package up the milk and send it off.
I love the idea that I could be giving another baby a very healthy start in life, using milk that I don’t need for my own family.”

Bottle bank ... Jelena Harris loves helping to give other babies a healthy start in life

Aliesha Jones

HAIRDRESSER Aliesha, 21, lives in Harlow, Essex, with her handyman partner, Michael, 25, their son, Mayson, three, and four-month-old daughter, Casey. She says:
“Since posting my advertisement for breast milk on the Only The Breast website I have had some weird enquiries.
One man rang me to say that he had been left with a three-week-old baby when his wife walked out on him.
Alarm bells were already beginning to ring that this wasn’t quite right when he asked if he could come round and watch me express the milk in person.
I told my partner, Michael, and he said: “Absolutely no way!” I am selling my milk at 50p an ounce and last week I sold more than 100oz to a lady who couldn’t produce her own milk. She lived nearby so I sent it over by courier in frozen breast-milk bags, making £50.

Cash-strapped ... Aliesha Jones says selling milk helps her pay bills

John McLellan

I feel as if I have milk coming out of my ears. I am producing so much, far more than my little one needs.
The milk pours out of me like a shower and it seems such a waste to just throw it away. I express using either a pump or simply by collecting the milk in a bowl.
When I heard that I could sell my breast milk online it sounded like such a good idea. Other women need the milk and I was just soaking through breast pads and throwing them away.
The money is really helpful, as we are very short of cash at the moment and Michael has to take any job going. Some people might think it is a weird thing to do but I don’t see what is wrong with it.
I have the milk and other women want it, so why not?
I do draw the line though at selling my breast milk to men — there are some very odd people out there.
I am a healthy non-smoker and I know that my milk is pure.
I had just as much milk when I had my son, Mayson. I fed him for six months then stopped but my breasts kept producing milk until he was two and I was pregnant with my daughter, Casey.
If I carry on producing like this there is the possibility of making several thousand pounds from a substance I am producing naturally.”
