BlackBerry Network Down Worldwide - 10/10/2011

SHARE:

Adjust text size:


Most BlackBerry services are down worldwide as of 10/10/2011 Enlarge picture - Most BlackBerry services are down worldwide as of 10/10/2011
BlackBerry users have just started to report issues with BlackBerry Messenger and email, which suggest that the network is down.

This is not the first time that users complain of BlackBerry outage, but this time seems to be a global issue as we've seen reports from all over the world and BlackBerry owners in our team seem to be affected as well.

BBM, Facebook, MSN Messenger and Twitter are not working, as well as any other applications that require data connection, including AppWorld.

In addition, sending or receiving emails, regardless of the account, is impossible at the moment. However, the BlackBerry outage does not affect Internet browsing.

Although RIM has yet to make any official statements, the issue has been confirmed by Vodafone Egypt via Twitter: “There is Blackberry outage, it's from RIM side (Blackberry Manufacturer), stay tuned with us till further updates.”

If you're affected, let us know in the comments and make sure you state your location.

UPDATE: According to one of our readers, it seems that a datacenter issue on RIM's side is to blame.

Reader IncidentGuy says:
Well, it's not worldwide, it's Europe, Middle east and Africa, but near enough. Issue in their Slough datacentre.


UPDATE 2: RIM has aknowledged the issue and has initiated an investigation. It also claims that only users in EMEA are experiencing these issues: "Some users in EMEA are experiencing issues. We're investigating, and we apologise for any inconvenience," via Twitter.

UPDATE 3: Reports from our Facebook followers state that RIM's service is down in Indonesia and India as well. 

UPDATE 4: Outage affects South Africa as well.

Reader bash says:
bis down in southafrica......causing commotion


UPDATE 5: Reports start pouring in from the UK as well (London, Essex, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Derbyshire, Oxford, Glasgow, Cheltenham, Ipswich)

UPDATE 6: BBM is also down in the Netherlands and is causing some confusion in Kuwait and the UAE.

Reader Dana says:
Here in Kuwait the blackberry service is down, there is a huge fuss about it.


UPDATE 7: Looks like the outage has hit parts of North America, too

Reader Sj says:
BB service is down in Canada as well!


UPDATE 8: Starting around 5PM UTC we're seeing BBM working sporadically but still no email.

UPDATE 9: Some BlackBerry users now report that Internet browsing is affected as well. We're unable to confirm this as we're able to access web sites without using WiFi or other alternative connections. The latest update from @BlackBerryHelp is little more than a renewed apology to customers.

Reader annie says:
Statement above is wrong. All internet browsing is affected


UPDATE 10: At 5:30PM UTC, outage reports start coming in from South America (Brazil and Chile), Belgium and Malaysia.

UPDATE 11: The USA seem largely unaffected according to users from the NYC and SoCal areas.

UPDATE 12: (Bucharest) I just got a bunch of emails at  6:58PM UTC on my Orange Torch 9800 but nothing more after that. Apps still fail. Can anyone confirm BB services coming up and back down intermittently?

UPDATE 13: Disgruntled readers start drawing analogies between this and the infamous and extended Playstation Network outage earlier this year.

UPDATE 14: A reader from Croatia reports all BB services are back up. Still down for me though, in Bucharest.

Reader proudtobecroat says:
Croatia (Hrvatska) service started at 20:41 in local time! Facebook down, gmail, gtalk app up, bb app world up.


UPDATE 15: Intermittent BB services confirmed by users in SA

Reader rossouw says:
also down in south africa came on for about five min got loads of messages could go on facebook and every thing and it then went off again. Highly P-O


UPDATE 16: At 6PM UTC services are coming back up at Orange Romania. Tons of emails have arrived, apps and AppWorld are working, but not BBM. Anyone else seeing services being gradually restored?

UPDATE 17: 6:15PM UTC - UK apparently next in line to BB services recovery. Still down in Austria and other European countries.

Reader granma says:
10.15 GMT email and facebook back up and running in Aldershot, Hampshire UK


UPDATE 18: 10PM UTC - service is being restored in the Netherlands. UK still partially down. No sign of recovery in other regions yet.

UPDATE 19: Oct 11th 2AM UTC - BB services still down in Canada; outages start to affect the USA. Been running nicely with no hiccups in Romania for the last 6 hours.

Reader sieWell says:
Still no service in Wisconsin USA, northern Milwaukee area


Reader Kelli says:
No Internet access for at least 6 hours so far for me in Atlanta. Email & twitter work, but can't bring up any websites. Already rebooted, didn't help.


NOTE: We now have a follow-up BlackBerry Network status article for updates starting 10/11/2011.

I was under the impression that it was only UK wide and due to the london riots this summer, but this seems to have chopped the heads off those rumours :D Please keep updated as I use my bb for everything from social networking to receiving work messages and already in the last 5 hrs since the network has failed this has really affected my usual life!

Comment #1.1 by: Riddim Ryder on 10 Oct 2011, 14:57 GMT

This Is stupid, First the phones play up to send and receive messages now it doesn't work at all, this is stupid, Blackberry need to sort themselves out.
It's affecting people who use their phones for work purposes and it's also affecting people who use it for personal use.
i pay £200 for a phone, i expect ALL the features to work.. Expensive phones that are cheaply made.. Rubbish.... It's a good job i Got a iPhone...... Not 1 Problem....

Comment #1.5 by: Daniel p on 10 Oct 2011, 19:56 GMT

The outage should be a wake up call and a reminder that we are too heavily dependent on technology and think that without it we can not move forward. Please reconsider blaming and pointing fingers at the network itself and use this as a lesson to hard-copy all your data and maintain personal relationships with real people.

Comment #1.6 by: stephan on 10 Oct 2011, 20:03 GMT

Comment #1.9 by: Ash on 12 Oct 2011, 20:45 GMT

It hasnt been working period.. not yesterday not today. and its frsutrating to be honest and quite sad that this being an international issue and there should be some kind of computer proffesionals and phone experts being able to fix this problem and its quite sad that at such a reputable big company theres no decent brain out there to be able to try and fix this problem ,. Im from bahrain. in the middle east and this is ridicilous. I understand a couple of hours but 3 days this is crazy ! quite dissapointed in the company really !

Comment #46.1 by: TheMadGhost on 10 Oct 2011, 16:00 GMT

Well, to be honest it's not your service providers fault. It's an issue with RIM's side, so yes, it is out of your service providers control. Don't blame where blame isn't due.

Comment #271 by: IHATEBLACKBERRY!!! on 10 Oct 2011, 20:16 UTC reply to this comment

Completely agree with the fact of paying good money for something that doesn't work.

I pay so much for my phone bill a month and am now wishing I got an iPhone. My blackberry has given me nothing but trouble since first getting it. If it's not bbm that's not working, it's the keyboard, or the internet, or whatsapp, or it crashes all the time.

RIDICULOUS- SORT IT OUT.

This is beyond a joke. My contract is with Vodafone so why is the problem with Blackberry preventing communication? I am trying to run a business, as are thousands of others and bought a Blackberry because it was designed for such use. 10 hours lost communication is unacceptable. WHY aren't we being kept informed by Blackberry or our Network Providers? Appalling.

Got so used to chatting with my boyfriend who is based in Nigeria on the BIS network, been quite annoying this is happening. Though anything man-made can always develop a fault at any time and I can imagine the pressure and hard-work the engineers fixing the problem at the data centre must be facing/ going through. Hoping this gets resolved soonest. This is also affecting Nigeria network as well.

I am not happy about this at all. When the PlayStation Network went down, every member knew there was a problem straight away. Engineers worked quickly to secure it, and every member received compensation.
Surely we can demand the same of blackberry??
And whose to say this was an outage? With this recent hacking frenzy, whose to say they weren't hacked for our bank details stored in app world?
I think Blackberry should tell us exactly what went on.

Down in Germany. Damnit. I do not want an iPhone. I have already many Apple products for many many years. But Apple would send me a message what is going on if something like this happened. Not even a message on the RIM website. Poor. Unprofessional. Every deal which slipped through my fingers when I am on travel now: I will send the bill to RIM.

Mum's in Milwaukee, WI today - and I'm here in NYC, and both our BB's are down - It's amazing how RIM has no plan-B in place - Aren't technical issues like this expected with such huge traffic? How can one be so unprepared in this era of evolving technology?

Just in case the "WORLD" forgot, but Blackberry can add South Africa on their repair list too once they have sorted out all the 10/10 COUNTRIES out there... We all went offline together, strange that some get first hand knowledge while everyone else must just sit around and wait. We pay a fee for this and BB is really not letting us know much about anything!!!!!


Comment #421 by: Vincent Worst on 12 Oct 2011, 06:14 UTC reply to this comment

Today is the true moment i can admit "i cant live without my blackberry"..... its not been connecting for 2 days.... No Facebook, No Msn messenger, No bbm & No apps are working..... Please try your best to get it fixed... No stress Blackberry worker peoples...take your time.... Although i know there isnt a point!, my eyes direct themselves to the phone every 2 minutes... Guess we all will have to breathe in a little reality/life we all have been missing out on for a while.... Therefore no bb could be an advantage...... WHO AM I KIDDING! i soo want my bb back!! :'(

I've noticed that only my BBM messenger, and my MSN messenger have been not working, everyting else is fine. But it's still odd and it feels weird not seeing bbm go off so often through the day. I live in Canada, and everyone on my bbm contacts and a few of my other friends are experiencing this with their black berry.

Comment #523 by: disappointed bb lover on 20 Oct 2011, 08:08 UTC reply to this comment

im irritated. ive loved blackberrys since ive gotten one back in 06. ive switched phones but to me i would always go back to one. i just picked up a verizon bold 9930 and im not happy. not of the phone, its simply amazing. common blackberry with a touch and keyboard!? best of both worlds! ive been waiting for this forever or since 06. common though bbm, browsing, & my emails will not work. it keeps telling me i have no internet plan what so ever. ok? because any carrier will let you open a 2 year plan with a smartphone without data? yeah right. find me a great carrier with it and sign me up! blackberry!!!! fix it now!!!! i want to keep my phone or i will turn my back against you and change phones!!
