Starting today, BlackBerry users in India can enjoy a new highly appealing feature on their devices, namely BBM Voice, which is now available for them for free on all smartphones running under BlackBerry OS 5 or higher.

Through BBM Voice, users will be able to send voice messages to their BBM contacts, as long as they have the feature enabled as well.

They will also be able to switch to voice-chat when in the middle of a BBM conversation, though only when connected to a WiFi network, as BBM Voice doesn’t offer support for mobile data connections, BGR.in notes in a recent post.

Owners of BlackBerry OS 5.0 and above devices interested in enjoying the new capability should head over to the App World to download BBM version 7.0.1.23 for that.
