Hang tight Crackberry Nation, all will be fine soon, promise! Other carriers also seem to be affected, AT&T, T-Mobile and Rogers users are reporting latent emails.

How often do these sort of outages happen. A personal blackberry without BIS is useless.

 
 
Posted by dpeters11 Monday, Apr 13, 2009 1035 days ago

I don't know how often it happens, but BIS doesn't get the same level of service in terms of uptime guarantees as BES. My units are working fine on that side.

I'm not having any issues with email or sms. Net seems fine too.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

My email has been really delayed for a few days now. I'm kinda glad that its actually out so it will get fixed. I'm on Alltel in Nebraska.

This is sounding more and more like it's happening at RIM/Blackberry; myself and a couple of friends are on through Rogers (one person has a Rogers email address that forwards to her Telus device) and we were all experiencing no emails for the last hour.

Actually, they came through for one friend after he called Rogers support (the tech asked him to create a username on the Rogers/blackberry email system, and revalidate his email passwords, and BOOM, email came flooding in), mine started working about 10 minutes after he did that and the other friend on Telus *just* received all her mail a few moments ago...

I can't get any email on my World Edition, but the data services seem to be working.

I'm on BIS, using Desktop Redirector to deliver mail from work. I received a message at 4:25pm EDT in Outlook, and it was on my phone by 4:26pm.

interesting

 
 
Posted by greatcasa Monday, Apr 13, 2009 1035 days ago

Can you hear me now? Did you get my email? Nope. But I did on my Sprint BB :)

 
 
Posted by Aug0211 Monday, Apr 13, 2009 1035 days ago

This is getting old, once this month and once last month. We pay a premium for these devices and missing emails like this can have huge consequences for people. Sure, you might say to check your computer not your phone - but we pay big bucks for supposed "reliability" from RIM!

On Verizon, no emails, everything else is fine.

I just sent 2 emails from my computer to my gmail address and my Blackberry email. I recieved the one to my Blackberry account immediately but did not recieve the one to my gmail.
The internet, SMS and MMS all seem to be working fine.

UpdateThe email to my Gmail adress came through about a few minutes later.

Nothing is working at all here in the ARKLATEX area. Tried sending test emails, and nothing yet. Hopefully it's fixed soon

i was getting all my emails on the iphone but not the BB. I was guessing there was another outage or something like that
happened.

I have been without e-mail for almost 2 hours now. Family in Mexico have reported that Telcel and Nextel are experiencing BIS issues down there as well.

This is the first time I've experienced an outage on VZW in Southern Cali.

I just ran a test in the Seattle area and had no problem at all. Email sent from my workstation appeared on the BB in less than one minute. I am a Verizon customer.

East coast VZW here, havent noticed any problems

as a matter of fact, I just got an NY Times news alert and a forum reply notification...so I guess VZW is all good over here

Posted by Telus BC Monday, Apr 13, 2009 1035 days ago

I have had email troubles all day after i installed the new operating system through desktop manager. Telus, Canada West Coast. I thought this might have something to do with the 4.5 OS that i installed this morning on my blackberry Curve 8330.
