Disruptions to BlackBerry services spread to Latin America yesterday, more than a day after users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and India suffered extended outages.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which is losing share of the corporate e-mail market, said it was working on the problem but gave no detail of the cause or likely duration of the outage.

“Some users in EMEA, India, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina are experiencing messaging and browsing delays. We are working to restore normal service,” it said. “We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.”

RIM earlier yesterday said it had resolved problems disrupting its services in EMEA. – (Reuters)
