BlackBerry Messenger Voice, a service that allows free phone calls over Wi-Fi, has become a sticking point for RIM and Dubai-based Du Telecom and Abu Dhabi-based Etisalat Telecommunications Corp., as the telecom operators try to mitigate the adverse effect on traditional revenue streams from free messaging and voice services.
