BBM on iOS and Android now offers video calling free in addition to the messaging side. Just last week the comply revealed that the Android variant would have the feature and now the iOS version of the app does too.

However for readers here in the UK, the feature wont be added until after July. Until then only North America and Canada will have access to it in beta, following that it will be launched globally.
