Egypt BlackBerry users having problems with their BlackBerry Messenger and internet services are not alone: users across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe are having the same problem. Vodafone Egypt's tweet to users – “there is Blackberry outage, it's from RIM side” – appears to be accurate. According to U.K. newspaper The Telegraph, the glitch started at 11am GMT and affects all internet-based services. Through a Twitter post, T-Moblile UK said, “There is an issue with Blackberry services at present. RIM are investigating this at present.” A Bahraini operator also blamed BlackBerry service rather than local service, saying, “Please note the issue with BlackBerry service is effecting all of Bahrain, and it is dealt with by BlackBerry providers in Canada.”
