Blackberry Email Troubles?

I've had a couple of calls from customers asking if we are down (our email servers) or if it's Blackberry that's down. I've sent a few test messages and they do not come to my BB but they do come to my desktop. The people who have called are on Verizon and are in the Chattanooga, TN market. Richey

Just had a customer notify me of the same issue here. I switched from my BB to an Android phone, so I can't confirm it myself, but would seem that there is a problem currently at BB. Chris

Most intelligent post I have seen on this thread yet. Why do people continue to pay extra for Blackberry's service when all they get are extraneous points of failure? Blackberry offered a unique service about 10 years ago, but today they offer a less robust and more failure prone version of what you can do with 75% of cell phones and a corporate Exchange server. If you don't care about the security features (profiles, remote wipe, etc) make that 95% of phones and any mail server. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: outages-bounces@outages.org [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of Chris Stone Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 10:52 AM To: Richey Cc: outages@outages.org Subject: Re: [outages] Blackberry Email Troubles?

Even BES services are still routed through RIM's NOC. We're not seeing any reported outages in CHI, ATL, BOS, NYC areas, for BES service. Blackberries route all BES data over Rim's network and has a connection to your internal BES server(s). The major difference is that BES offers a much lower response time (push) and ability to sync Calendar and Contacts as opposed to the BIS service which I was under the impression was just a 15minute pop/imap refresh. Not sure if BIS supports IMAPIDLE yet or not. If it does then it'd be up to your email provider to support it as well to get a push like experience for email. More than likely this is a BIS service issue. I'm pretty sure RIM has the traffic separate to make sure that SLAs on data can be maintained for priority customers.

You've been misinformed. :-) BIS email is instant-push, just like BES: my average delay is about 4 seconds. You don't get calendar and contact sync, though; they have to have *some* way to sell BES server besides remote wipe (which you also don't get). Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

RIM, of course, is *based in Canada*, which is why the Star had the first official report. It's been coming back in slowly since about 10 this morning EST; reported time out was 0315, though I don't know whether that's -0500 or -0400. @spetnik is covering it pretty well.

The last normally received email I got on my Verizon Blackberry was at 2:50 am (EST), so I think the 0315 time out would be -0500. ~Brian~ SyncGlobal, a DoveTel Communications Company Engineer 678-821-1129 -----Original Message----- From: outages-bounces@outages.org [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of Jay R.

RIM, of course, is *based in Canada*, which is why the Star had the first official report. It's been coming back in slowly since about 10 this morning EST; reported time out was 0315, though I don't know whether that's -0500 or -0400. @spetnik is covering it pretty well.

Still an issue down south on VZ. Had a deluge just before 1100CST, trickled until Noon and dead since...

Did anyone see their e-mail servers' IMAP session counts from RIM go down during this outage? I wonder if that's a reasonable proxy..

We're not getting any calls on this at the moment and have users spread across a variety of carriers including Verizon. We have a large group of users in the east and we're not seeing reports from them. Might be local to TN. -matt On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 6:29 AM, Richey <mylists@battleop.com> wrote:
