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?
BIS Sprint, San Diego A-OK
NYC – TMobile voice & data…. DEAD… still dead
Central Oregon High Desert is Blackberry deserted…well almost, it is taking forever to download, if it downloads at all!
No problems that I can I see. Hopefully it stays that way.
Sprint – BIS.
Southwest MI. Very much alive. yay…

I knew something was up. My wife has been complaining for 2 days now she’s not getting all her email on her Pearl. She’s on Verizon/S.Florida.
Bell QC, UP and Well
The high desert ares of Southern California appear to be alive and well
I got the Alltel 8330 (red) yesterday at about 11. It worked fine for about 5 hours, then the browser wouldn’t connect. Used Opera Mini occasionally for about another 6 hours or so before that quit connecting. I have a coworker with the exact same BlackBerry and wasn’t having any problems as of about 5:30 this morning with her BIS. I was told in the Alltel retail store (the same one I bought it at yesterday morning) that there was a BB outage, and it should start working again.
