just heard something on radio news about this on my way home from work - think it's a BIG blackberry problem.

It's on the BBC news website.

I've had to turn my laptop on to get an MN fix today Blush.

Mine does this. I take the battery out of the back and let it reboot, this sometimes sorts the problem out. When it doesn't I test the connection, this works also. It's a PITA. This may not work if they are all down today though. Confused

blackberry are having problems with data services today. bbm is also down.

How strange! I have been to meadowhall today so not checked fb on my phone most of the day, when I got in it wouldn't connect, then an email came through saying it needed upgrading so i did so, Still cant get on now, Twitter is on but not refreshing Arghhhhh so annoying!

PastGrace · 10/10/2011 18:11

My emails and facebook/twitter notifications are starting to filter through slowly, so hopefully it's nearly fixed. I'm with o2.

LissieLovettsDeliciousPies · 11/10/2011 21:48

am severely pissed off.

GabrielOak · 12/10/2011 12:35

Is everyone back to normal now? I still can't get newsfeed /updates from facebook on my BlackBerry and emails don't seem to be coming through very regularly either...

Quenelle · 12/10/2011 12:45

Still can't get on the Internet Angry

Meglet · 12/10/2011 16:22

Still not working. The e-mails are pinging through every few hours in one go. Internet, BBM, Twitter & FB apps won't work either. Orange here too.

Have turned it on and off and taken the battery off but still won't work properly Angry.

CoffinGoneMouldyAgain · 12/10/2011 18:20

Virgin here, still not working ffs!!! However my friend is also on virgin and hers has been working all day Angry

GabrielOak · 13/10/2011 09:51

I was getting that Meglet - batches of emails every few hours... I'm on orange..

Mine seems ok this morning so far - Facebook is finally showing newsfeed and emails seem to be coming through in real time...

Rubbish handling of situation - a bland statement like 'we're doing all we can' once every 12 hours is not exactly good Hmm
