Hi been in news rim has major outage covering large parts of the world

dontpannic · 10-10-2011, 14:46

Just seen that, there's your problem.

Incidentally, on a news article about the outage:

"So I have no email, Twitter or BBM on my BlackBerry," said Amanda, a Twitter user from Twickenham
"I may as well cut one of my arms off too *angry face*."

Grow up, there was a time before your precious BBM you know. Some people don't know how lucky they are.

John_Elway · 10-10-2011, 14:55

I know, quite. It's ridiculous. It'll be back tomorrow and nobody will die because of it.

This is why it is a bad idea to pipe all phone data through a set of central servers...

KieranDS · 10-10-2011, 16:40

Mine hasn't been working since 10am.

slipstream42 · 10-10-2011, 18:09

my FB, Twitter, Whatsapp and BBM hasn't worked all day long, almost forgot how to text as I'm always whatsapping my girlfriend if I'm out. Least I know now its also not my phone having a spazmo

My whatsapp just keep initializing and has pretty much drained my battery to buggery in doing so. Thinking of getting a HTC

I can tweet through Twitter for BlackBerry, tweets just won't load.

It's still out now, although my e-mails seem to be coming through now so maybe things are slowly going back to normal.

helenj1986 · 10-10-2011, 20:21

I think my mine is flicking in and out , I seem to be getting batches of emails all at once ( I get LOADS of junk ones all day ) .I just checked my twitter & facebook and it's 10 hours out of date! so I guess that's not working either ,I swear It was was earlier on around 1pm .Hmm

I've just had a text from orange to tell me that's it's not working

slipstream42 · 10-10-2011, 21:57

Im with 02 and no trxt telling me it from them. I have had 40 emails on both my yahoo and live accounts come through all at once, its going bat shit crazy bleeping away. None of my apps work though. Weird!

tvqueen1905 · 10-10-2011, 22:10

Evening at 9:45 i suddenly got 26 emails thorough haha

Applications have sprung back into action too

starinthemaking · 10-10-2011, 22:17

I've not had any problems all day, been tweeting and facebooking from my phone and sending BBMs... but no-one has responded to my BBMs because they cant access it

This ^, no other phones do this, this wouldn't happen to an Android phone or Apple.

Also, if RIM had a big falling out with another company, they could in theory block access to their sites from their (your) handsets.

†¤AzumiMiyako¤† · 10-10-2011, 22:23

I am slowly getting my services back now. Emails are filtering through but haven't got any tweets or BBMs yet (although I did receive the one direct message I got on twitter earlier).
