Up and down like mad here, BC, Canada. Was up to slightly over 1000 pending, hit just about 200, but its climbing again. BES is notifying me of the SRP disconnects and connects in Outlook every 10 minutes or so.

Have not been receiving since the last message of 1:36 PM (PST). The SRP Status from the BlackBerry Manager shows connected. Trying to get a hold of RIM support but have been hold for a very long time and still waiting.

Default Why PIN Messaging delays? - 02-11-2008, 06:13 PM

I am a bit concerned that PIN Messaging does not look to be reliable during this outage. We had always counted on PIN as the backdoor for emergency situations.

I guess it makes sense that it could be "flooded" and slow - though thats not something we considered in our Disaster Recovery plans.

Probably not a huge issue, as in 99% of our disaster scenarios, it will be localized to us, and RIM will be fine - thus PIN flooding\delays wont be an issue. It is the 1% where RIM is down that this creates the problem.

You're probably gonna get the same response that most of us have gotten already. "They are aware of the outage and are working diligently to resolve the matter."

I have not gotten any notifications of SRP disconnects and connects this whole time. Very strange, as far as I can tell SRP never disconnected for my BES, yet still no email.

I know last time RIM had this issue I got notification of the SRP disconnect in Outlook, and eventually my BB. At about 500 pending now.

Happened here a bit past 12pm in Southern California (Los Angeles), we have a SRP Disconnect going on. Checking the logs, ping attempts and disconnection failures. We're on Verizon and it seems it has affected my friends other company too. Can't get a hold of BB support, as i would of guessed, their support lines are hammered. There goes Jim Balsillie's promise of this not happening again! so much for a backup! -.-

On the BB Manager, click your server name on the left window pane then click the Server Configuration tab.

AT&T says all carriers affected
04:58 PM CST on Monday, February 11, 2008
Associated Press
NEW YORK – An outage has disconnected BlackBerry smart phones across North America.
AT&T Inc. says the disruption Monday is affecting all wireless carriers. AT&T first learned about the problem at about 3:30 p.m. EST.
There's no word on the cause or when the problem might be fixed.
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion did not immediately return a phone call.

If you're on BES, you can open the Blackberry Manager; select your BES name under BlackBerry Domain | Servers; click on the Server Configuration tab to see the status.

I would feel a little better if they had a press release giving a little more info other than the typical 'we know, we're working on it.'

For starters, tak about irony - didn't they do a major DR test this past saturday - or was it two saturday's ago.

After 50 mins on hold, I got a TSup rep on the line around 4:10 eastern, and he didn't have a clue.

Now here's what REALLY gets me. They are no longer answering the TSupport lines.

For about 45 mins they were playing a message claiming phone problems (BS!).

Now they're playing a message saying that they know that there is a problem - and then it disconnects.


BB devices I've owned: 957 : 7750 : 7250 : 8703e : 8830 : 9530 : 9630

Just an update , i sent a pin to pin from my verizon 8830 to sprint 8830, just got it from my sprint 8830, and that took about 30 minutes. SRP is now connected, as it was reported disconnected a while back (at about 12p). Messages are still backing up, as we still have alot pending.

this is just bogus, I was just on the RIM con call and they said it was not a service outage, they are just experiencing slow message delivery and messages queuing. the problem is unknown and they are failing over. they are going to update again in 15 minutes.
