Looks like BIS is down in my region. Just south of Joburg

@ Krypty, Im here in the Vaal today as well. BIS is down here. Im only getting "GSM".

Hi AdamR... yes. I have the same issue, only receiving a GSM icon. I am on the West Rand, so it seems it must be a line that is down or something. I checked MTN website but they have not issued any notices. So i guess we just wait.

 

[adamr]

I'm sending this obo a friend. Near the glen area. Is anyone up again? Or still down

 

[Lord Anubis]

Still down

Had no access today on Vodacom but it came back about an hour ago... Hope you guys get sorted soon. Not sure if this kind of thing is linked.

MTN BIS out in Klerksdorp area since about 13:00. First time I'm experiencing BIS problems on MTN.

 

[Mr Smooth]

BIS on MTN been down since around 11 this morning and still down.Called the helpdesk after 15:00 and was told problem would be resolved in about 2 hrs.Still waiting.

 

[adamr]

What is their help desk number I've held on for 30min on two seperate attempts when dialing 808

 

[Mr Smooth]

I dialled 808 as well and my call was answered almost immediately.If you calling don't use the option blackberry etc etc,rather speak to the "normal" help desk person.

Services are back up here in the Vaal! Ok, I'm officially addicted to my Torch

 

[Aharon]

Been ok in Randburg all day

 

[Piesang]

I've been using my BB on MTN the whole day. No problems here in Cape Town.

JHB south was down for about twelve hours. On my third call to Customer Care, they said that they were having a general GPRS failure in the Gauteng area, this would affect BIS. Any MTN rep here to comment? Would love to know what caused them to go down for twelve hours!

 

[Krypty]

Well I am still down. 24 hours and still going.

 

[Mr Smooth]

BIS is up but very slow.

I'm on Vodacom BES. re-registered on the network, tried to re-activate my BES, cannot connect to the network, connectivity in the top right corner is constantly changing between 3g / 3G / edge / EDGE.

Any body experiencing something similar ?
