Thread: BlackBerry Internet Service outage in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa)

I'm in Eastern Ontario as well and dead in the water too..... I received a few emails this morning around 11am OTA, but have had nothing since. Was talking with a friend around 10:30 last night when all messages stopped going thru on BBM

In Quebec, I was able to use BBM around 12pm today, received my emails, sent some ..and it's dead again since.

Right, seems like there are periods when the service is up.

Service is completely down here in Vancouver, Canada, not even lagging.. hope it's fixed soon

Also down here in the US with periods of being up and down.

In Egypt,It's working properly now which means it should be working properly in EMEIA
