T-Mobile Major Outage
 

All 3 of my BES servers are having delivery issues, i.e. nothing is getting through. Looks like T-Mobile is experiencing a major outage right now. 8:11 PM CST 4/17/2007. Anybody else feeling this yet?

EDIT: Apparently all networks are affected as it is a RIM issue. We do have other carriers and not ONE message out of 1800 devices is going through.

Oh yes... Ours cratered a little earlier. Got this e-mail from T-Mobile just now:

Please be advised you may experience problems with the following:

Its not t-mobile, its rim

we have 2600 devices and not 1 is t-mobile

all of our servers went to SRP disconnected at 8:20pm EDT, reconnected at 9:10p - still on hold w/ t-support - and waiting for more info from 1 blackberry rep i did get by email.

so far no message flow to devices at all. regardless of carrier

we beleive its a RIM network issue

It's not just T-Mo. I'm on Cingular and I'm down as well.

Its all neworks. We are on Cingular same problem.

I think we ascertained that it is a North America problem. One of my guys in Scotland is fine...

yep down too. let's post when we are "back up" for more than a couple minutes.

Has anyone got through to RIM to confirm any of this?....i've been on hold for a while now...figuring i'm probably about 389,293 in the queue.

I can confirm that our BB's in SF, CA is down on Cingular.

Does anyone know if we need to restart BES or other services or will this just go back online?

Surprised this isn't getting more press coverage?

Just wait until tomorrow morning my friend. This is big.

I'm dying to know. How big, my friend?

same issue here

called RIM, said everything was fine
called TMO, first OP said there was a service outage affecting everyone starting around 5 PM Pacific which is right when we lost SRP connection

We all have enough stress...lets not start the rumor mill.

yes i got thru, both on the phone - they have no info other to confirm an outage. also our account rep has been in contact via email and he confirms they are having relay problems. not rumor, just an outage.

Here is the answer....

Actually, the quoted 2 hour number is their standard answer. It can stay at 2 hours for a lot longer!

HAHAHA.
Isnt that the truth.
My services stopped at 8:01pm Eastern....we are now approaching 10pm.

:)

Bis Up.

Cinguar here, same deal with the outage. I just spent an hour pulling my hair out trying to figure what was wrong with our BES. :oops:

Duplicate post. Yay!
