BlackBerry Messenger giving you troubles?

Before we even began looking around and asking people about BBM outages, we’ve been going quite nuts here ourselves.  BlackBerry Messenger has been giving us trouble for the past three hours where messages aren’t being sent on time, out of order, and not at all.  Some of us are Verizon users where we blamed it on the carrier, or even phone as Dana has above but that didn’t suffice especially when my Bold 9700 was going wild too doing the same nonsense.  So far we have far west coast users via Verizon and AT&T and east coast users via T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T that are experiencing the outage.  If you are currently having issues in your area, drop us a line below so we can add you to our list.  We’ll continue updating this post as we hear more info on the outage.

UPDATE- Further outages in:

  • Canada via Bell Mobility, Telus, and Rogers
  • Netherlands via Digicel and UTS
  • Seattle, WA via AT&T
  • Detroit via Verizon
  • NJ/NY via AT&T
  • Panama via Digicel
  • Florida via MetroPCS
  • Pennsylvania via Sprint
  • Indonesia via Unknown carriers

    I have two blackberries and my husband has one. One is on the AT&T Network and the other two are on the Sprint Network. None of the BBMs on our phones are working. We're at Fort Knox, KY. I guess the service is out globally across all networks. We've been down since around 14:00 ET.
