Just got off the phone with RIM, they have no ETA - but yeah, all data is taking a hit, push services (email) is delayed, data is slow or completely unresponsive, and PIN messaging is apparently 100% down. I'm on TELUS, Rogers and Fido in Ottawa, Canada. All are dead.
I contacted AT&T and the customer service rep stated that the issues with BBM is a RIM problem and has been going on for the past 4-5 hours. This is a huge problem. This seems to be happening more and more often. Kinda makes me wish i had gone with the I-phone.
K, not to try to incite panic... And this isvery likely JUST ATT customer service babble to appease my friend on the phone with them trying to get her bill reduced.
BUT, my friend just got off the phone with ATT calling from Cleveland service area and ATT CS told her that they were expecting RIM to be down possibly another 24 hrs from now, 6:30PM eastern.
Again, this is JUST what she was told by an ATT rep just now and may not be factual.
This won't effect my normal sms though, correct? I have quite a few people that only contact me via sms 90% of the time and I need to know my messages are being recived.
