BlackBerry BIS outage affecting regions across North America

Here we go again, people — you know the drill. Tips are flooding our inboxes from users across the US and Canada reporting some major BIS issues. Namely, it’s not working. We’ve heard from several Rogers users up in Canada as well as tons of AT&T and Verizon customers here in the US. Claims range from intermittent service interruptions to full-on “all is lost, my ‘Berry is dead” reports. Roll call… Is your ‘Berry alive?

    AT&T all over L.A.: BIS working like it always does. We should do a poll as to how “widespread (NOT!)” this supposed huge BIS outage really is.

    Do yourselves a favor. Get your Blackberry service from Sprint. P.S. their Blackbery Curve has a push-to-talk button on it…I read at least three Sprint posters to this blog say that they had no issues at all. TSk,Tsk other carriers!!!UGH

    Telus 9530 storm, eastern Canada.

    Email & browser working this morning, no noticable delays on facebook etc. Not sure on email, but for the past week or so I’ve noticed about a 30-45 min delay in emails coming through which is annoying.

    i have been having issues with both voice and data since the end of February. No service in places where I previously had the best signals.
    Switches to UMA/wifi whenever possible.
