O2 wouldnt give me a time, because they said it was an internal issue relating to RIM. So to answer your question, I have no idea I hope soon, it feels alien to be without BBM and emails lol

Ok cheers!, Same haha

I am from India on Vodafone Carrier & the entire BlackBerry services i.e. BIS & BES is on outage.

Just a while back spoke to my Carrier guys & am informed that its a RIM issue from Canada & they are trying to sort it out on ASAP basis ...

Vodafone India claims RIM informs it'll be restored in approx 60 ~ 120 min time from now.

still down for me on O2 aswell, thought my 9900 was playing up this morning till i phoned O2! not that they where much help.
'blackberry services are down, we have no timeframe on when they'll be back up'

[crigga84]

Me too - Orange.

[Stubbo]

Is it just me thats quite enjoying the peace and quiet of having bis down?

No beeps, no red lights, ahhhhh its quite relaxing!

[mainman1303]

Yehp issues the same here on Vodafone UK...

Hopefully its sorted soon...

[cookewitch]

It's driving me mad, Vodafone UK clearly don't have a clue what's going on, my local branch insisted on changing my sim when I went in to find out if there was a problem. Now I get a message saying my data plan isn't set up for those services which is a worry as they have added a problem onto a problem......idiots!

Tmobile UK here and BIS has been down for me, no bbm's or anything...tried batt pulls and nada...sent myself a register message and it didnt come through till an hr later.

[nothin2seehere]

Still down. O2 UK. Although a BBM I sent did get through, it was slow, and haven't had a confirmation response from my friends.

BES is also affected (I hope, since my BES isn't working!)

[chrism_scotland]

Just noticed that my BBM and e-mail isn't working, explains why my phones been very quiet!

[rover95]

Yes Vodafone UK BIS still down at 14.25 local.

[mufc1]

[parmb]

[Spyro1]

Confirmation in the Telegraph

[Dugganm]

See...this is why I love Crackberry, getting to find out that its not just me thats having problems today!

But yeah...BIS on O2-UK still not working!

[cactusgreen]

just had 3 seconds of bbm on O2....gone again now - 14:35

[jacmeister68]

Yep just had two emails and bbm and now its gone on o2 uk LOL

[mikejonesifr]

still not working on vodafone and orange UK at 1438. Nice of them to keep us informed...not

[lfmarley]

I am trying to reinstall Whatsapp messenger on my Bold 9700 after uninstalling it this morning. When I try to register my number I get this message:

Unexpected error:
java.io.interruptedIOException: Local connection timed out after 30000

Could this be anything to do with the BIS outage?? I am not very technology literate, and have no idea what the message means!!

PLEASE can anyone give me any help?

[giorgosh]

same on wind greece. Problem is nothing is working via wifi either...

[ITSystems]

Just spoke wth RIM TSupport. They are aware of a UK outage affecting all aspects of BB use: BES, BIS, BBM, PIN messaging, etc. THey reckon to have it sorted by tonight. I have loads of my clients affected.

Interesting that it will also affect UK users who are roaming abroad. I have clients in US who are also effected, but device is a UK one, on a UK network just using roaming while they travel.

[mikejonesifr]

BIS outrage is more appropriate

[tinny24]

sure it will be working again soon, i dont mind too much it isnt a common problem, shame my work computer network couldnt go down all day aswell

[horiaonline]

BB services down @Vodafone Romania too.

[olsj8]

THey reckon to have it sorted by tonight.

Heck, I'd like to think so....
In the past it has only ever been a couple of hours where there has been an outage. Seemingly, this is a far bigger fault...

And the girl I spoke to at O2 seems to have fed me a pack of lies.. this doesn't seem to have anything to do with an 'update to BIS'... grr.
