Blackberry Server Not Working --
pinkdiamondz101

I haven't been able (along with other Blackberry users I know) to use BBM - to send or recieve messages. Or access the interenet for the past few days on my Blackberry Tour. I've tried taking the battery out, restarting the phone. I ran a diagnostic and everything is okay except the "Blackberry Server Connection" keeps saying failed. Anyone else having this problem? Or know how to fix this?

my bbm and internet service on my 9650 bb hasn't been working for almost two weeks. it's extremely frustrating and impossible to get work done....very disappointing when i'm spending $120 a month for something that doesn't work.  Blackberry should consider crediting service fees during the month of January to all customers impacted by their server issues.

The Blackberry Nationwide data connection issue has been resolved. If you are still experiencing an issue please remove the battery from your device and power your Blackberry back up then dial *228 option 2.

Morgan, there still appears to be a problem

 

yesterday (1/28) I was getting emails in bunches, hours after they were sent. Did the  *288 upgrade.  Pulled the battery.

 

Haven't received any emails on my BB since 8:03 last night.

 

(and I'm not in CA, rather, the opposite end of the country in upstate NY.

 

Anyone else still having the issue?

I live in New Hampshire and haven't received email since yesterday.  Is it RIM or Verizon due to adding the iPhone?  Tried the *228 and pulled battery still nothing.  Earlier in the week, I lost the sounds, not ring tone, no alarm sound (overslept) pulled battery and everything worked again.

For me it looks like something went down between 1130 PM and 330 AM last night.

All mails are down both POP3 or exchange server based.

What is very strange is when I try to go to the Verizon e-mail set up link I get a 505 error or now a 400 error ( bad request) and the details say the server refused, but it looks like its trying to access a "T-MOBILE" server.

Verizon says not their problem. But no official info on the BB site either.

Ditto. I just purchased my blackberry and couldn't for the life of me get the email to work. Looks like bad timing..

I'm in a similar situation, BBman - just upgraded my Voyager to the Bold, activated it briefly, then went back to the Voyager.  I was going to activate last weekend, when the troubles started, and it looks like things are still not resolved  :smileysad:   I need my phone, and I if I am going to go with the BB, it'll be to do the things I'm NOT doing now, like BBM, and email.  Since that seems to be where the issues are, I'm holding off for awhile longer....

Hey, all,

I live along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and we are out down here, also.  No email, Messenger, PIN messaging.  The only thing working is text messaging.  Looks to be a nation-wide epidemic.
