BULLETIN: "Critical Severity" BlackBerry outage
Note: This is a mirror post from my BlackBerry Beat blog. Important enough news to spread through both blogs, IMHO.
Sounds serious, and it is.
As an AT&T Mobility BlackBerry subscribver, I first started to pick up something wrong when I sent some photos of me swimming in a spa pool yesterday to some of my other email addys.
They aren’t getting thru.
But it’s not just me. Reuters just moved this:
E-mail service of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry smartphones experienced a “critical severity outage” on Monday, the company told clients in an e-mail.
“This is an emergency notification regarding the current BlackBerry Infrastructure outage,” stated an e-mail from RIM support account manager Bryan Simpson. The e-mail said the outage affected enterprise clients and “users of the Americas network.”
BlackBerry forum Pinstack has more.
Do you have more info? Who’s being affected out there?
