BlackBerry BIS outage again?
What’s that sound? Right, it’s hundreds of thousands of BlackBerry users left without immediate access to their Gmail, Yahoo!, and other BIS accounts. The current outage, which has been confirmed by RIM, is affecting all BIS users, regardless of carrier. It is not affect blackberry.net addresses. There is no estimated time of the fix, and no specifics have been been given. Other services possibly effected are web browsing and any 3rd party applications that require access to the handheld’s data connection. Forgive us for this one, but RIM: COME ON! This is the third major outage in 5 months, an outage Berry users are becoming all too accustomed to. We’ll save the rant for another day, but BlackBerry has long been heralded as a bastion of reliability and stable service. At the very least we would appreciate some sort of statement from RIM.Start venting……now.
I’m receiving my gmail messages on my blackberry as I type. I haven’t had any problems all day. T-Mobile user in Chicagoland.
No outage here, on Verizon. Have email and web (posting from my BB). However, if there is another outage at anytime in the near future, I will be highly annoyed.
Yea, I’m on Verizon and I just got an email as I was reading the post.
I only experienced that first outage months ago, Verizon Wireless in North Carolina, I havnt experienced any outage all day? Maybe verizon really does have the best network!
I’m Verizon in Los Angeles. Not nearly as bad as past outages, as I’m still getting email periodically, but service has definitely been delayed much of the day.
Tmo BIS user in NYC/NJ experiencing no prob and my friend ATT BIS is up too. The one a month back affected me though.
What’s going on with RIM as of late? =0/
Very slow delivery of .blackberry.net BIS messages all day – like almost 1 hour (Rogers)
No problems here. Northern California with AT&T.
This is another reason why I switched to wireless activesync and will never look back.
T-mobile BIS user here i have been able to access email and internet all day with no problems as of yet
I been getting my mail through out the day. I use gmail an I’m on sprint in LA, CA
Yeah I hate when this happens. I got the outage earlier today. Luckily its working now.
Was. Affected by the last one. Just starting to receive email that I sent at 4:41. So 2 for 3 now. Att on east coast – dc here. So annoying! And no warning.
No probs on ATT Boston, maybe later but by then I hope I get home to check emails and such.
It was out in Denver this morning. I could not send or receive blackberry messages, nor I could access my gmail account, and I also could not access the web via my blackberry browser. Grr… This is getting old. If it happens a few times too many again, I’m switching to Treo.
no outage in san diego!!!!!!! its my birthday today ! woooo.
I am on the verge of getting my first smartphone….BB Curve. I certainly hope this does not become the norm for reliability. Lets hope this gets fixed correctly this time around.
they need to up the server ifastructure
I just switched back to the Pearl on AT&T, and delivery to my .blackberry.net address has been painfully slow in DC!!
I haven’t noticed any problems today. I have been sending and receiving emails all day. T-Mo in Michigan.
Unlike the other two outages, I’ve been getting gmail emails all day on Verizon (sometimes in batches of 2-3 emails a few minutes late, but nothing that would have prompted me to believe there was a network problem).
in LA email is working but messenger is not working
Yahoo is being pulled not pushed. Been off & on for the last couple of weeks. LA, CA
Works fine for me…
My mobile email works flawlessly all the time. Of course, I do not have a BlackBerry.
