BlackBerry BIS is dead, everywhere, again
Yep, looks like it’s that time of the month again. Comments and emails are pouring in about another BlackBerry network outage, this time apparently affecting all carriers across the US and Canada. BIS appears to be dead while BES users seem to be rolling along just fine. From what we can gather using our time line of “good lord, BIS is *&%!@#* again!” emails, it looks like problems were intermittent at first — delays and such — and now we’ve moved on to a full-on outage with no emails coming through at all. So tell us, if you can manage to stop pulling your hair out for a few seconds, where are you and how’s your Berry?
Thanks to everyone who sent this in
at 5:25pm I just had all my emails since 1pm come flooding in. Rogers- BIS
T mobile houston tx no emails
Broken record.. it’s down again East Coast.. so frustrating, come on guys FIX IT ALREADY!
AT&T BIS in Cedar Falls, IA was out from 1:30 – 4:30 CDT.
I’ll get 10 messages at once and then nothing for half an hour. Very frustrating. I can recall 4 outages since Thanksgiving – in the 3 years prior to that, I don’t recall any. Argh. I actually had set up a new device this morning and had been thinking I’d done something wrong until I saw your headline – so thanks for that.
Love having my own BES and then BIS for backup. Love it!!!!!
WTF, I’m now getting a flood of the same emails, like every 20 minutes.

My Sprint BB Curve 8330 has been delivering BES and BIS e-mail all day. I had no idea of any issues until reading BGR.

@ definitive
You can have multiple gmail accnts on the device through your service provider. Or you can do it by yourself by going to the icon “email settings” you have to log in first, if you don’t know your info call your provider. Once your in you can add many email accounts. But what you cannot do is if you downloaded the gmail app from google, you can have only 1 address on that app at a time.
Works fine in the UK
Chicago AT&T service is up as of 5:01 CST. Unless it was a momentary blip and I haven’t received any new emails …
Seems OK, emails & BBM, in Vancouver, Canada.
