I haven't had access to my browser since early a.m. on October 10th in Atlanta.
I'm glad they are finally recognizing that it DOES affect some users in North America. If they had done that earlier, I wouldn't have spent 3 hours on the phone with tech supporting, and had to completely wipe my Blackberry yesterday.
Looks like it may be affecting our BES users (NorCal > SF/Bay Area). A number of devices here not receiving emails, and cannot send PIN messages to themselves.
Do they automatically reduce your payments, or are you given any extra incentives?
Its kinda weird how many carriers charge Premium+ price for BIS services, and after we get dependent on them, when trouble occurs they often just lean back and say "not our problem - RIM problem"...
What IF you went to the supermarket and bought a bottle of milk, then went home to do some cooking/baking where you planned to use exactly one bottle milk, - only to find out that the bottle was half full... Then you could not bake ....
So - our carriers are "re-selling" this failing service - It is the carriers who must push whomever is responsible for the outages/problems....
Another thing about it - when we so much rely on services - what alternatives do we have?
Are pushed Gmail on Android or iPhones more stable?
Am getting fed'up of all these unreliable BIS services - I need alternatives ... what to choose??

What about using the gmail app instead of BIS? I used it on my 9800, but set my gmail account up on BIS when I got my 9810. Both approaches have pluses and minuses.

I'm fine on BES, but I hear of sporadic outages. I'm working from home today, so I'm loving the quiet.
The fam can reach me via text and email, and if needed, actual calls!
BBM and emails all down. Started yesterday in and out, and totally gone this morning. Seems that I am getting "broadcast messages" but not single ones. Having problems with gmail accounts and LP messages going out as well.
South Dakota is really quiet today!
