BlackBerry Mobile Voice System 5.0 Demo

i hope this becomes available soon~

Wow, hopefully my company jumps on this. I use my personal cell all the time since I am never in the office, always traveling. Would love to only give out my office number, and just keep my cell for friends/family.

I am just commenting on this post because its most recent but I heard that may 11 there was a new os coming out for t mobile blackberrys 9700... Well I have one and I waited all day for it...but no.. Never happened I'm still stuck with the .353 someone help me out please?!

This would a nice feature to have. I work for a Sheriff's Office that requires I use my personal cell for work. Well obviously, I don't give that number out to people, and instead, I have to give them my office voicemail number, which I only check once a day. Needless to say, having an office number I could give them and have it routed instead to my BlackBerry would be ideal. Especially if I could turn it off when I'm off duty and let the voicemail do its job.

I don't see our county implementing this, at least not on a level where road cops would see any use of it, nor would I want my personal phone tied into our BES, but it does have several applications I could find useful. I'm happy to see RIM is still innovating for both the corporate and consumer markets.

Already can do all that without any blackberry software or servers. In fact any phone can be used cell, or home phone. Instead of drop down menu, we use * plus digit for transfer, hold etc.

This can be easily done via a SIP VoIP client if there was one ever made for a Blackberry that didn't cost thousands of dollars to license. :rolleyes:

Fact is, how many companies will pay for MVS as an extra RIM component when they wouldn't need to if a standard SIP client was available or if their companies would use another phone platform that allows for either pay or free SIP clients that work perfectly via WIFI, VPN, etc.

The big problem is that RIM keeps everyone in the dark about these capabilities and then they make it seem like thir products are somehow the end all solution to the customer's needs. :rolleyes:

WOW! I love this feature. Too bad it is exclusive to BES, my small business would really benefit from this.

wifi calling should be for everyone on the 9650...not just the BES customers. i'll stick with my 9630.

this is something that you can atleast somewhat satisfy with google voice and you know the features will only continue to expand

I seem to remember a year or so ago that Sprint announced functionality similar to this, but at the carrier level.

Am I mistaken, or was their offering MVS simply re-packaged?

Either way, the concept is something I know many of my clients would love to go with their current VoIP systems.

This is pretty slick.

Doesn't Google Voice do just about this exactly (minus the 4 digit extension dialing and WiFi)? You can have one number, have different phones ring, have a single mailbox, transfer the call mid-call from cellphone to office phone, schedule which phones ring when, plus receive transcribed voice mails (granted, this could use some work).

What are the other "wow's" for this service that would make me want to stay with BB and not switch to Android/Google?

For all those who just want make VoIP calls with their own PBX or VoIP provider without BES or MVS, we have a SIP VoIP client (fgVoIP) you can try out with your PBX/Provider:
