June 30, 2009 -- BT has today announced plans to integrate the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System (MVS) technology from Research In Motion (RIM) with BT Communications Complete (based on the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series platform).

The planned new offering will enable BlackBerry® smartphone users to take advantage of Wi-Fi® networks in the office for voice calls. The solution enables users to switch from Wi-Fi to cellular networks, even in mid-call, allowing small to medium-sized business to reduce mobile airtime costs and be more productive.

Business users will be able to enjoy all the out-of-the-office conveniences of their BlackBerry smartphone – access to contacts, calls, applications and email anywhere – when they are in the office, but without the usually higher mobile airtime costs.

With features like a single voicemail box, the development will also eliminate the time wasted listening to and answering messages on multiple voicemails – making users easier to contact and potentially giving them quicker response times to customers and colleagues' queries.

ORLANDO, FL, April 4, 2009 -- Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM, TSX: RIM) today announced BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System (BlackBerry MVS) Server for Cisco® Unified Communications Manager - an enhanced version of BlackBerry MVS that is optimized for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 6.1 or later.

BlackBerry MVS Server for Cisco Unified Communications Manager can make employees more accessible and productive by phone both in and out of the office and empower organizations to manage and control corporate voice services on BlackBerry smartphones.

BlackBerry MVS, through integration with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, supports a rich set of BlackBerry smartphone features, including:

* One "reach me anywhere" corporate phone number, one caller ID and one voice mailbox for both a Cisco Unified IP phone and BlackBerry smartphone

* Simultaneous or sequential ringing of up to four devices, including BlackBerry smartphones and Cisco Unified IP Phones
