I cannot confirm this one myself but I have been hearing reports that AT&T & Verizon are having BIS outages across the country. I have confirmed the reports on AT&T and Verizon but I am also hearing that T-Mobile is experiencing issues but have not been able to confirm that yet since my 9700 is working fine. Some reports are even claiming that this is worldwide.
Let us know what you find & thanks to everybody who sent this in!
PS: Maybe somebody at RIM told one of the interns to turn the lights off when they leave for the night…

I was worked on it to get it work. I did not realized it was down once I got to Forsyth County in NC and it picked T-Mobile’s tower and it was fine. Till I came back home and it turned back into AT+T’s tower and it is still down last night. GRR.

Verizon BIS around Omaha was horrible yesterday, facebook wouldn’t load pages, Verizon mobile broadband was fine. Not sure how well the email was working. BIS seems fine today, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
