BlackBerryToday > News > Data Problems With BlackBerrys Again? Data Problems With BlackBerrys Again?
By Melissa Oxendale
According to Information I’ve received, the outage was mostly confined to customers of AT&T and in Northeast US. BlackBerry problems have also been reported in places like Michigan and even Alaska. I contacted a friend of mine, an AT&T BlackBerry user that lives in Northeast, who confirmed the outage: problems with data service (e.g. e-mail, Web surfing), but not with voice service. The outage was also confirmed by at least one person who manages both AT&T and T-Mobile BlackBerrys. He said the T-Mobile people were not having any problems. So this time round it looks like the problem is with the service provider and not RIM. Not much comfort to AT&T customers, I know. At least it doesn’t appear to be another black eye on RIM’s resume. As for me, I checked my T-Mobile BlackBerry regularly today, and had no problems. My data and e-mail was working fine all day. I did not receive any reports of anyone not on AT&T experiencing problems so far. A little over a week ago, on Tuesday September 25th, a number of BlackBerry users reported experiencing an outage or e-mail lag. This was the second such event in September. For those keeping count, yesterday’s event makes it four BlackBerry blackouts for 2007 so far. Related Links:
