RIM Data Outage affecting *some* WiFi devices
Filed under Dataoutages News, Outage News
A number of users are reporting and an escalated RIM tech support call has confirmed data issues affecting WiFi devices NOT connected to a WiFi network.
The outage is sporadic and issues are confirmed on at least on Verizon and T-Mobile on both US east and west coasts.
Again, if you are connected to WiFi, you likely won’t notice any problems until you are out of WiFi range.
This is not affecting ALL WiFi users, the reports are sporadic, but across all carriers, BIS and BES included.
