Another Blackberry Outage

Posted on 23. Dec, 2009 by aingaran in misc

Blackberry Internet Service users are getting tired of the flaky RIM network these days.

What has historically been a very stable and reliable network can only be described as suspect at best this year. RIM had ANOTHER outage today, and has yet to be resolved.

The outage, the third major outage this year started at 2:30PM eastern time and is still affecting millions of Blackberry users.

E-Mails, Blackberry Messenger, PIN Messaging and 3rd party applications like Facebook, Windows Live Messenger are affected by the outage.

Voice and SMS (Text Messaging) are still functional as these services do not use RIM’s network and are transported directly through the carrier’s network.
