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?

    Well, I’m Philly and haven’t gotten an E-mail since 11:30 am EST – but that could just because its Friday. I haven’t logged into my mail to check yet.

    And, I’m on a BES.

    I just almost cannot stop laughing here…Not too long ago on two seperate occassions that I can recall off hand, BB services we’re down and there was a hearty argument here about the inherent potential for service interuptions and issues on BB’s vs smartphones (Palm & Windows) due to the reliance on BB service in addition to service provider/internet services. The BB fans just stood strong that there’s nothing wrong with BB’s in this sense…well, here were AGAIN for the 3rd time in I think as many months with service interuptions to BB’s only…Just freakin’ funny!

    Sprint – Houston Texas

    Around 2:54PM CST, I received 9 emails from earlier in the day. I checked the accounts and verified email was received much earlier.

    Internet access has been slow/intermittent all day as well.

    ATT down in north Austin, TX for about 3 hours today. It would work sporadically, not nearly as bad as last month’s outage.
