Outage Part 2?

[CigarDad]

Local news is reporting that some US BlackBerry users are experiencing e-mail outage/delays going on 2 hours now.

Is this strike two for RIM?

Where is local news? Link?

I thought we now have a swat team to squash these things quickly.

No issues at all for me in Canada on Rogers at all.

I've been down on Telus in Toronto for over 2 hours now.

No, because if simply having an outage is a strike, then it's inevitable that any company which relies on servers will strike out eventually, so what's the point?

I'm having trouble with my Telus BB this morning. I can't access Facebook or BBM music. I can surf the web though. Not sure about emails (haven't received any more this morning).

I am having problems since last night. I can not receive emails, I can send emails from my work email address that is on my blackberry, but I cannot send emails from the blackberry email address or receive some emails that are addressed to my blackberry email address. I live in BC, Canada

Just got the following from my IT department:

************************************
Due to a RIM outage, no email messages are being sent to or received from BlackBerry devices at this time. All efforts are focused on working with RIM to resolve this matter.

Please make alternative arrangements to send/receive mail as necessary at this time using VPN, Citrix or GoToMyPC if you are remote.

You will be notified as soon as there are further updates.

************************************

Given our footprint in the US, IT usually lets us know if it is just a regional/office v. nationwide issue. I take the email to mean it's a nationwide issue.

It has been confirmed by BlackBerry.

[OmegaCrunch]

I am on Telus also. Maybe it is a Telus issue?

Strike 3 for me. Sprint Florida, BIS or BES, cant send email for over an hour now.

[bek816]

Telus BB email and web surfing works, but I can't access Facebook or the BBM music catologue.

Confirmed outtage with Telus. Hopefully RIM gets it resolved soon.

Waiting for the trolls to post....
Anytime now....

wait for it.......
