Viber for Blackberry is something you should see in your hands very soon. When we recently posted about Viber app for Android, the Viber dev team commented that the application is in the hands of Research in Motion (RIM), the official Blackberry people. Once they approve the Viber for Blackberry app the app will be officially launched. Viber for Blackberry will be available for all supported Blackberry OSs and devices including Blackberry Torch, Blackberry Curve, and Blackberry Bold.
Viber for Blackberry: First look
Viber team has instigated curiosity by leaking a few pictures of Viber on Blackberry. The one attached above is one of those pictures. Here is another one with a better look for you.
Hopefully, we will see the app soon on our Blackberry devices. Please do not forget to subscribe to our email list so that we can email you as soon as we have the Viber for Blackberry application ready.
Features of Viber for Blackberry
Similar to Viber for Android and Viber for iPhone, you will be able to make free calls to anyone using Viber on his/her iPhone/Android/Blackberry devices. You will also be able to send free text messages to other Viber users.
We are not sure about the cost but the speculations are that the cost will be Nil. You will be able to download Viber without much ado and without paying anything.
Viber will be compatible with a gamut of Blackberry devices including Viber for Blackberry torch, Blackberry Bold, Blackberry Curve, Blackberry 9700 and others.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteWe are excited to announce that Viber for BlackBerry Beta and Windows Phone 7 have both been released today! These milestone lets BlackBerry and WP7 users connect freely with our 60 million Viber users, and is a major step towards the full versions, which will have our free HD-voice calling. Get it, you’ll like it.
We are here to collect your feedbacks, questions and ideas - feel free to let us know your thoughts at any time :)
Best regards
the Viber Team.
I Download the viber for my blackberry ,but the free call is not working only text message
ReplyDeleteDear Viber Team,
ReplyDeleteKudos for releasing the application. We are looking forward to the full versions with calling options.
Regards,
Team - Free Calls Hub
Hi Viber
ReplyDeletewhat are we going to enjoy if there is no call options, there is hundreds of apps that gives messages and photos download, anyway i hope the full version will come soon.
regards
Adding the calling feature is the next step of Viber in Blackberry. If all goes as planned, we hope to have it ready within a few to several months.
ReplyDeletecould you tell me, how come that there are no voip apps for BB, is it because of the technology of bb mobiles, or is it becuse of the RIM's policy?
ReplyDeleteor if the answer is "classified" just blink:D
the beta won't allow me to send pics but i can receive from my friends with viber. seems like a good app. hope they get the bugs fixed and get it out of beta asap!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout VoIP in Blackberry - developing a VoIP (calling) system is much trickier since there are limitations in Blackberry itself that make implementing VoIP very complex, but we're working hard these days to overcome these obstacles and also include VoIP :)
ReplyDeleteAbout sending the pictures on Blackberry - we are aware of this error that some of our users experience, and we're working hard to fix it in our next version. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
oh gosh, thank you for your answer on voip technology,this is my first time that someone gave a useful and authentic answer for my question. it feels so great?:) if you guys need a lawyer , im in:D
ReplyDeletehi there,
ReplyDeletei have just downloaded viber for BB curve 9300 with OS6
it has downloaded but i cant receive or compose messages.
everytime i click compose it says "getting ready for first use"
help?
seems like although Viber and RIM are teaming up which is for a great and wonderful cause, it is only obvious that any updated release date for free calling is TOP SECRET / G-13 CLASSIFIED. But then again, Blackberry customers should be used to this because there is no such thing as a Blackberry customer service phone number - please send RIM an email with your concern because their technology sucks balls - Anyways, point is, whining and complaining won't get you an answer with RIM. Viber, kudos for even making this attempt considering Blackberry/RIM considers themselves bigger than God. P.S. Santa is real.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous -
ReplyDeleteThank you for the report.
We invite you to report this issue to our support team at http://helpme.viber.com
Thank you in advance,
the Viber Team.
When voice calls will be activated, we wait long time
ReplyDeletewhen voice call will be avilable ??? cab u give us any good news regarding the voice call
ReplyDeleteI also have a blackberry curve 8520 and am waiting for Viber to become available, but with the complete package. So as you have told us many times to be patient then that is what we must be. I would rather have the app done RFT than to have to keep updating. Thanks Viber and let's hope you crack the Blackberry configuration before Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteAs we've explained in the past, releasing the beta version with messaging only is only the first step. We are working around the clock to bring the VoIP feature to our fans, and we hope to complete it within the next few to several months. We'll keep you posted with news.
ReplyDeleteHey , im looking forward to the calling bit of viber for a blackberry . I wont have to use my mom's phone for it after it comes :D
ReplyDeletePlease release it asap, the wait is annoying!
I don't know why your taking along time for viber calls. People are waiting herry up !!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEmail me when it will be ready please
ReplyDeleteAkramah@eim.ae
I love my blackberry! But this is total bullshit! Coz eventually viber app may just discontinue for blackberry, lol ... That's how complicated and messed up blackberry team is.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, let's see how long they're gonna make us wait for the calls option. The truth is, I'm sure its already there but viber and blackberry aren't comming to a mutual understanding yet!
Well RIM, I love your phones but your team sucks!
Cheers
Once the full version of Viber is released will it require a 3G or WI-FI network connection?
ReplyDeleteViber for Blackberry can work on both 3G and WiFi, and will continue to do so also once our calling option becomes available :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get my contacts to sync with my viber I can't c mt contacts who has viber
ReplyDeletecuriously and eagerly waiting for free calls on viber for BB ... all my friends have got BB ... but still waiting for this magic app to release the free call option

ReplyDeleteDear Reader,
ReplyDeleteAs per Viber team, Viber for Blackberry will take a few months before you can have calls on your Blackberry device. It sucks to be like that but that is the state of most of the apps right now.

What exactly do you mean? please elaborate.
Please update the date of free calls for bb. Make it fast. Milions are waiting.

ReplyDeleteWe acknowledge the great anticipation among our fans for Viber for Blackberry's calling option, and we're working around the clock to bring it to the world as soon as we can. Stay tuned for news and updates.
Hey. i have a question. will viber phone calls will be available for bb 9700? and will the phone call i make appear to my parents on the phone bill or something?
ReplyDeleteDear Reader,
ReplyDeleteRight now Viber does not allow phone calls. However, once they launch Viber with free calls you will be able to make phone calls for free. There will be nothing shown on your bills.

Team - Free Calls Hub
if someone has viber on iphone and the other has viber on bb, can the one that has the iphone call the one that has the bb for free, or it won't work until viber free calling works for bb? Thank you
ReplyDeleteViber's calling option is still not available on Blackberries, so unfortunately you won't be able to use Viber on your Blackberry to call other Viber users for free.
ReplyDeleteWe are working around the clock to bring the VoIP feature to our fans, and we hope to complete it within the next few months. We'll keep you posted with news.
Keep up the good work Viber! I will be happy to pay for a good quality APP in the BB Store.
