Widespread BlackBerry outage?
And we thought these things were a thing of the past….it seems that BlackBerry users on all networks are experiencing a complete data outage. First reported around 10:00 AM this morning EDT, the outage is apparently blocking all email and web access to ‘Berrys on all mobile networks. T-Mobile has, in fact, just confirmed the existence of a global BlackBerry BIS network outage, with no expected time frame for resolution. Thus far, we’ve only received reports from AT&T and T-Mobile users, but we have every reason to believe that Sprint and Verizon users are thusly effected as well. If the outage is as widespread as the initial reports seem to indicate, this could mark the second time in a year that the BlackBerry users have been subjected to such an event. It should be noted that it has not yet been confirmed if the problem is on the carrier side or RIM side of things, but given the cross-carrier nature of the problem, we’d wager a guess that it’s a RIM problem. Come on, RIM!
Thanks, to everyone that sent this in!
4:30pm (eastern) still no BIS.
I’ve been affected by this outage like maybe 4 or 6 times already I hate it and its like when it happens I’m not notified that its happening so its like I turn off my device and turn it back on thinking everything will work but nope I have to do a soft reset each time to get it working and it kind of gets annoying after a while.
Lol, bg!!! Your no longer cool fam!!! Yes there’s and outage, and thank you for letting us bb heads know. But I think you been so partial to your iphone these days your depriving us of some good news from rim! Like I jus read an article where rim had a great summer in regards of there line.
