BBM having major problems in the last 3 days. In the Los Angeles area. Am using Messenger 5.0. Any news from Blackberry acknowledging the problem? Or is this gonna be like AT&T pretending they have no idea what you’re talking about when you tell them you cant maintain a phonecall anywhere any time.

I was having the same issue a while back then i reformatted my software and also got the 5.0 bbm and this morning the problems have started again. Messages are delayed or not sent at all and most contacts appear unavailable or my messages go to them very late or sometimes don’t get delivered at all. I’m so sick of this, i’ve only have the phone since May and i’m ready to switch to iphone

Oh i have blackberry curve 8900 – don’t know if it’s BBM thats messed up or the phone or the software or what, but i’m about done with this load of crap!

BBIM is terribly annoying here in North East Ohio. Often it takes 10 minutes or more to send messages and sometimes they never go through. I’ve been using SMS instead.

I’m having a problem with contacts being unreachable on my list, we have to delete and add each others again to make it work!!
I think I’ll be switching over to iPhone once I’m done with Bell contract in Canada.

By sporadic, I mean some are delayed. Some are returned with the red X, some continues to be returned with a red X, resulting in my thinking the other has not received them, and then miraculously the receiver responds, and the time stamp shows it was delivered. Aside from that, even those that do get delivered are delivered with a lag. I have the 4.5.0 software version.

I am in central Alabama, and have been having sporadic delivery of PIN messages and some email since about 2 pm Thursday. The problem is persisting today.

I tried to send a message on bbmessenger yesterday, July 23rd. My contact has been showing as “Unreachable” for almost 24 hours. Are we supposed to try re-sending these?

I am in Guayaquil – Ecuador, South America, issue has been going on since yesterday morning, some messages go through and some get delayed between 20 min to 1 hour. Some never get delivered at all even with older versions of bb messenger. Using new bb messenger on my javelin.

I am currently in LA roaming on O2 UK, and my Bold has gone into SOS Mode for a few hours now (8 to be exact) I managed to find a way in the meantime to get it to make calls, switching it from 2g/3g to just 2g seems to hold on to the GSM network but still no data.

Spoke to o2 they said they have been made aware of the problem and its worldwide and they working frantically to fix it.

I’m in LA and I’ve been having this problem all day. I downgraded back to bbm 4.7 n my contacts got erased. So far only some have gone through still.

In Illinois, northern suburbs, same problem. I’m using bbm 5.0 and about a third of the messages were not goin through (sent but not delivered). Eventually it started to work again (after restarding the bb a few times). My boyfriend was experiencing the same problem, he’s with 5.0 as well. My friend who has version 4.3 wasn’t able to send messages to me or receive mine. It doesn’t seem like an OS problem, so hopefully it will get fixed soon. Very annoying.

For the last hour or so, in upstate NY (Catskills) seems to be working fine.
Just wondering if they resolved this mess already…
