AT&T BlackBerry users experiencing outage today

by Peter Ha on January 31, 2008

Looks like Crackberry addicts on the AT&T network are experiencing some major outages and not receiving their precious e-mails. It appears that the majority of problems are in the Midwest around Chicago. I asked my roommate if her Curve was working and she said it was all good. Anyone care to share?

I’m having issue’s with my blackberry, inbound calls are not coming through.
It work fine last night, and until 9 AM this morning. After that, no luck.

Wow – you completely missed the fact that all the Mac sites are howling that iPhones aren’t able to browse using EDGE?

Its effecting the midwest – in Minneapolis it was out until a few minutes ago. So was Des Moines I heard. I am now able to utilize EDGE again.

It was working for me this morning around 6:30am. Went to use it around 11:30 and was not working. Call at&t and they said there was an outage on their UMTS network. I think he said the coverage area was midwest to the southeast with no estimated time on when it would be back up (of course). I just tried it (3pm cst) and it’s working now.

back up around 2:15 for me, I noticed sporatic trouble early this morning after midnight and when I woke up, still down…

hofo threads look to have it up around the same time I did this afternoon.
