If I try to use the blackberry browser and go to any web page, I get the following error:

HTTP Error 503 Service Unavailable.

The server is currently unable to handle your request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. Contact your service provider if the problem persists.

We do have a BES for Exchange at the current version (SP3). We do have MDS Services installed and running. So, I'm not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?

Thanks

I started getting the same message about 2-3 days ago. Our IT departmented installed the latest service pack on our BB server on the 5th. I thought this had something to do with it. Based on your message, maybe not.??

I found one solution, I hope it will help you.

In my case it was the solution at the user configuration level on the BB server.

As per HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable is displayed when attempting to open a web page in BlackBerry Browser:

Environment
* BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software version 4.1
* BlackBerry Device Software 4.0 to 4.2

Problem
When attempting to open a web page in the BlackBerry Browser, the following error message is displayed:

HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable
The server is currently unable to handle your request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. Please try loading a different page. Contact your service provider if this problem persists.


Cause
There are multiple causes for this error.

Summary of Causes
1. The BlackBerry Mobile Data System (BlackBerry MDS) is not enabled for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry device user account.
2. The web site that the BlackBerry device user is attempting to access is not available. For example, the proxy server is not configured to allow access to that web site.
