according to crackberry.com (awesome website) the BB Data services outage is a North America issue, not any specific carrier, or specific BB.

Just called Verizon customer service and they said the same thing - Rim is having issues with it's servers again and it is affecting all providers, but not all phones.  Unfortunately I am one of the affected phones :smileysad:

"I too am unable to send / receive and bbm messages or emails... I also have Verizon. A friend of mine called Verizon and they said bbm is down until tomorrow.... Which sucks. Back to the stoneage - only using my cell phone for calls and sms  "

 

I got this information off of the Blackberry website message boards.  This is a RIM issue, not Verizon.  Hopefully it will be back on by morning.

I tried to use my service when leaving work around 4:30 and have not had service since then.  Phone service works but not internet. I have turned the phone off multiple times, taken the battery out thinking it was my phone!

So now 2 out of the last 5 days, Blackberry devices send and receive no e-mail, plus inability to access web, messaging, etc.  That's 40% downtime!

 

Verizon customer service apparently feels its paying customers should not receive any bill credit for the $30+/month service not working at all for days at a time, because "it's Blackberry's fault."  While that's apparently true, we buy a service from Verizon and it's not being provided.

 

Verizon should be giving pro-rated credit on data plans to all affected users.  Verizon should then go get reimbursement from RIM, with which it has its own contract.

 

If enough customers call Verizon customer service and demand this, they will get the message.

I have had trouble all day.  I bet this will be reported on the national news tomorrow!  Is this another Cyber Attack?

Mostly annoying. It seems to have happened when they put Bing on my phone. I really hate that it's a service book too. I'm afraid to delete it! Of course, maybe if I did that the **bleep** thing would work.

I am in the same spot. Cant check anything. It is really annoying. I am paying extra money each month to have the internet etc. on my phone. I am not paying the extra money to have it down so I cant use it... has this ever happened before and if so how long was it down.

It's been down once or twice in my memory. I use my BB constantly for work (and I mean constantly, I work with medical equipment and am never at my desk) and it's actually been a hinderance maybe once in the past six months. However it's NEVER lasted this long.

 

I am wondering if it has anything to do with Bing, but it appears to be an issue with blackberry and not Verizon itself.,

Ugh. And this couldn't have happened at a worse time, too.

 

How much you all wanna bet this won't get resolved until after Christmas?
