BIS Down?

It would appear there is a problem with the BIS service in general. Asked my sister and she says that everyone in the office is having problems and there are peeps posting in the cellular section that is on MTN and Cell C that they also having issues. Does not seem to be network dependant.
 
I wonder why it's down...probably because people broadcast allot of senseless messages.
 
Vodacom BIS

Just what I need right now!!!
Is there anything more trustworthy? Maybe I should get an iPhone!

The glitch, which struck at around 11AM, was affecting online services for consumers all over Europe, the Middle East and Africa. All are served by a RIM data centre in Slough.

They have been unable to browse the web or instant messages, or access other internet services such as email.

A RIM spokesman was not immediately available for comment. Users who are served by a corporate server appeared to be unaffected.

On one of its official Twitter feeds, however, T-Mobile UK said: “There is an issue with Blackberry services at present. RIM are investigating this at present."

Batelco, a mobile operator in Bahrain meanwhile said: “Please note the issue with BlackBerry service is effecting (sic) all of Bahrain, and it is dealt with by BlackBerry providers in Canada.”

This is not a Vodacom BIS issue. Please read the full thread and others posted on mybb today and this will become clear pretty quicly. Europe, Africa and Middle East are affected by this outage.
 
Hi All

The service was up and running early this morning again , no need to sms anymore.
 
My own networks IS works 24/7 with great speeds without the problems of BIS "Smoke and mirror hype", just add a small data bundel to your account and see no need for BIS problems etc.
Just no need for Cranberries!!
