BlackBerry Outage Continues To Spread, Hits Home in the United States
This is the third day that the BlackBerry outage has continued to rage across the globe. What started first in Europe quickly spread to the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil and Chile. Today it is reported that the service outage has reached Canada and here in the United States.
Here is what RIM had to say on its BlackBerry Service Update page:
BlackBerry subscribers in the Americas may be experiencing intermittent service delays this morning. We are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and we apologize to our customers for any inconvenience. We will provide a further update as soon as more information is available.
RIM UK has also posted a statement:
We know that many of you are still experiencing service problems. The resolution of this service issue is our Number One priority right now and we are working night and day to restore all BlackBerry services to normal levels.
Let’s hope RIM gets a handle on this and quickly, before BlackBerry users get realcranky.
