Tonight's BB Outage

Since RIM isn't providing any details, here is my alert from ATT:

Severity: 1-High
Description of Issue: Degradation of RIM Blackberry services Location of Issue: All Regions; All Markets and surrounding areas Start Time: Dec 22 2009 04:30 PM PST Symptoms you MAY experience: RIM Blackberry BES/BIS users may be unable to send/receive messages or may have difficulty connecting to the network.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks! Hopefully my inbox will be full when I wake up in the morning.

Thank you!!!!!

Bolt Browser works for internet. I saw another user comment on blog talking about Bolt working, so I tried my copy of Bolt and it works! Yeaaa! If you got Bolt, try it. Then use http://m.crackberry.com as an url & you can go do your Crackberry stuff. Cool!

Just got all the test messages and PIN msgs I sent over the last few hours. Hope that's a good sign altho we got one hiccup like this earlier too...

Possible temporary fix if your BB has wifi.

1. Options -> Advanced -> Service Books -> Find and delete ""IPPP for 5 Click (IPPP)"
2. Turn Wifi on and connect
3. Navigate to and Update BBM by going to blackberry.com/messenger

*note that doing this will stop incoming emails to your blackberry until service books are sent

4. to re-register on bis -> options -> host routing tables -> register now

damn it this is getting silly
its like guessing when ive got service based on if i get email!

this is the worst outage i think..lol
