this worked for me

Provisioning/Battery pull worked for me, thanks everyone for keeping this up to date!

Just simply call Sprint and ask to be compensated for the inconvenience. They should offer between $20-$25.

i guess im having a weird issue.

my data is actually up, but my bb browser has disappeared. only third party apps work on internet.

BBM amd email for me is down as well

[DarkPhoenix]

What incredible freaking timing.
Last night I downgraded my Tour from 5.0 to 4.7 OS because I couldnt stand not having nav, bluetooth and smooth playback on my media player.

Yeah I am downgrading as well til it works properly.

[drgyrl83]

yea that worked! after like 15 hrs with no freakin service!

[SocialJusticeKen]

Tried it and its still not working. Im actually headed over to office depot and best buy to check out other carriers. This is freaking ridiculous.

[ZiggSVO]

I am finally connected after 8+ hours of having a fancy texting phone. Glad to have my Tour working properly. I'm in the NYC area, and didn't have any BIS when I woke up this m orning at 8a.

[Angel0607]

Mine has been down since about 2-3am PST. Im on Sprint. I can only text and make/receive calls. No data including BBM.... Im still out at 3:50pm

North Central Ohio here. Get this - wife and I both have 8330s. She is sitting beside me some 4+ hours ago browsing. I can't connect.

Hard reboot 5x, nada. Tried resending service books. Nada.

Wait 20 minutes on hold with Sprint. The guy tells me it is a data server outage since 1148AM, and they have no idea when it'll come back up.

While talking to him. I try the browser again, and voila! Weird.

Here I thought FB 1.7 upgrade on my device and not my wife's caused the problem.

[meistro]

just got off the phone with sprint tech they say that the outage has cleared. I just took the battery out of my phone wi will see if it has actually cleared or not.

[NW LSU FAN]

Here in Seattle, still no service since this morning.

[meistro]

yea im still down too. i will be calling back as soon as i can get my hands on another phone.

[skullface]

My dad called Sprint about half an hour ago complaining about the problem (because I had been complaining all day.) They gave him a 40� credit. Not even a half of a dollar! Sprint told my dad it was a "power outage" and counted it as a "dropped call". I'm just happy to have working service.

[penpen72]

the Chiefs won, but I still have no Blackberry I am 60 miles from Sprint HQ....if it isn't on by morning I think I will go picket the building!! Obviously it IS Sprint and NOT Rim, because no other carriers are having issues!

[SocialJusticeKen]

Well im just doing some transfers of monies from one bank account to another and then im headed over to T-Mobile and im gonna cop that Blackberry Curve 8520. Is there any other phones you would suggest from T-Mobile peeps?

[penpen72]

PS... I have done everything on this thread and nothing has worked.

[durandetto]

I'm in MI and i've tried all the things suggested here and still nothing.

[talarogue77]

Well, I'm back in business.
And tomorrow I'm upgrading to the Tour...with Sprint.
All carriers have outages ppl, get over it.

I reprovisioned both wife & my 8330m's 2 times till I got successful registration e-mails. Then battery pulls, rebooted, working fine, knock on wood.

[shannon10190]

In Columbus Ga , everything back to normal. Good Luck All.

[Nucleartx]

Everything has been working fine all day here. Guess I got lucky.

I understand how you can say, "get over it.." we may be sounding like whiney babies and the like. But when you pay for a device because its part of your business, because its part of how you make your living. Its no small thing. My main problem with this outage was communication. No one at sprint could tell me anything and thats what is pushing me to another provider.
