Data Outage

According to dataoutages.com, many users are still having issues with both BIS and BES connections for the second day in a row. It seems like the issue is hovering around Wifi connections, where users are having data trouble when Wifi is disconnected. No official word on what the deal is or when it will be fixed, but hopefully it will get resolved at some point today. If you're having spotty issues with email, web browsing and BBM then this is most likely why. Drop a comment and let us know how data is working for you.

Cannot get BBM, Internet, or BES email since noon yesterday without wifi connectivity.

Posted by darata12 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

I called at&t and they reset my data plan (took it off and added it back). Web and BBM back up. Just reactivated my BES and it just completed. Appears I am back up and running!

my data works and i'm not on wifi. using 9700 tmobile usa

Posted by thegoodboy66 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

Seems like is back for the moment.....

That's why we cannot rely on technology/mobile only, we always should have a "Plan B".

In St. Louis Metropolitan area (Belleville, IL). Tmobile Bold 9700 working fine today and yesterday. 1 hiccup sending an email, but worked on 3rd try.

You jumped ship but miss the good ol' crackberry?!? How is the grass on that side of the fence? Any greener???

Posted by Marine One Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

hell yes it's greener. I would never go back to BB. Still love crackberry.com tho and n worries..crackberry has an android section, and it will grow. :)

Posted by Working Class Hero Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

all the blackberry owners I know are jumping ship to Android and it's definitely looking greener on the other side...much more tasty too. Mmmm open source and no data outages with out warning...HTC Desire hurry up!

Posted by ceepee Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

Posted by Marine One Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

an android forum section. I am not goiung anywhere. I'm just waiting for all the BB folks to switch to android then we can get this place really rocking.:) Plus I still have my BB 9000 so stop hating.:)

Posted by Marine One Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

I actually took my sim out of my nexus yesterday and put it in to my BB 9000 so I could check my @blackberry email, and I encountered this outage. So glad I left, and that's the last time I put a sim back in my BB. I'm officially done with RIM.

my bb didnt work at all yesterday but my wife's bb did and i called cc. they gonna send me a new bb.

Posted by sdipp Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

I experienced this issue since the day before yesterday. Only able to connect thru wifi was my case. No browsing thry BIS. Initially when I filed the report with my carrier they were not aware of the issue (yesterday) but throughout the day they bacame aware. Since yesterday afternoon it came back to normal. I'm located in the Dominican Republic.

Posted by aris20 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

Didn't had any problems at all, but today a friend of mine had this problem, he's BB was only making and receiving calls, all internet services, weren't working and now suddenly they are working again! BTW I'm on Dominican Republic 2, nice to find some1 from here :)

Posted by HipPo13 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

The thing is i went trough this like 3 weekends ago and apparently nobody else was having this problem 'cause my service provider didn't know anything about it, my girlfriend had the same problem, it began on sunday, and like with myself, after 2 days, problem solve without our service provider's intervention. we are in DR 3

Posted by dudermont Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

bbm has been a little finicky. Send 4 messages and the second one never made it through, things like that last night.

Posted by andrew13 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

No problems here on Boost Mobile (Sprint) in Philadelphia area.

Posted by JasW Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

No BIS email in Miami since about 8 or so this morning. BES is fine, as is the internets.

Posted by martin_j001 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

BBM was slow last night, haven't used it today. Other than that, haven't really experienced any issues, knock on wood.

Posted by squally123 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

I haven't had any issues with email, internet, bbm or tweets. I'm not using wifi and haven't since a few days ago. Everything is fine. Internet is fast as usual.

Posted by fumkacz Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

ROGERS Canada. If anyone experiencing the same problem call ROGERS, it took them a while a bring my data back.
I tried several time myself to send service books or to reinstall software.
Tech support experienced problem IS on the OPERATOR side and that in first instance I should have called them without losing my time.

Thanks ROGERS! I don't know what was the problem but it my Berry working now as before.

And no - I will NEVER give up my Berry ! No Android is going to replace my terminal.

Regards to all Crackberry Nation.

Data not working using WiFi this morning but working fine now

Posted by mmaestro Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

Me, too. Honestly, I'm really tired of this. I, like many others it seems, am counting the days 'til my contract's up and I can jump ship. Blackberry has amazing hardware, but the software is horribly outdated, and that the only way I can get my work email and calendar on my phone is to allow the corporate overlords to read my texts and see my phone logs is completely unacceptable in this day and age. RIM has lost the plot, and that they can't fix this recurring problem speaks volumes.

BIS still down, and spotty access over UMA/WIFI on my 8120

No problems at all... All services BIS/BES are fast and smooth. Even our users on enterprise over BIS with our fresh install of BESX are ggreat. Both mobile network and wifi work.

Posted by needforspd Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

Ive had issues since sun night and so did my gf. We're both on T-Mobile in SoCal. I had no email or IM or FB. Web browser worked later yesterday but that was it.

Mine started working at 4:15am this morning cuz all my email addresses got the registered email at that time.

My gf's however was still down at 8am this morning.

Posted by Maiev Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

I called Rogers, network reset and everything is fine... omg should have just called yesterday rather than waiting :D

BIS back online (after like 24hrs of offline :x)

Posted by Unfranchise33 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago

I am having trouble streaming Pandora today and yesterday. So I have to drop back to slacker. Just not as good. (Slacker plays the same songs over and over, how is it they have 3X the songs)?

Posted by JLeiteRosa Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 701 days ago
