BlackBerry services collapse in three continents. Blackberry users in Africa, Europe and Asia have been cut off due to a fault at RIM, the Canada-based manufacturer of the popular device, the Telegraph reported on its website.

Millions of users were unable to connect to web services, use instant messaging or send e-mails.

A spokesman from RIM was not available for comment.

T-Mobile UK tweeted, “There is an issue with Blackberry services at present. RIM are investigating this at present," on its official Twitter account.
