Just a few hours after Research in Motion said that it had fixed a network outage that affected its services across Africa, Europe and the Middle-East, the system has reportedly crashed again.
The crash comes just after RIM had issued a statement saying all services were now "operating normally".
The outage on Tuesday was reportedly due to a failure at a single point in the company's UK-based data warehouse, which handles traffic for the Europe/Middle East/Africa region (including Ghana).
Reports said the outage only affected subscribers on consumer tariffs, but business users were largely unaffected.
In its earlier statement RIM apologized for the inconvenience but gave no further information about the cause of the problems.
The company is equally not forthcoming about the current network failure, although it has been suggested that the network is simply overloaded with traffic from Tuesday's outage.
BlackBerry customers in Ghana have been experiencing difficulties accessing the internet on their phones due this problem.
In view of this, telecom operators offering BlackBerry services in Ghana have been sending repeated text messages to their customers informing them about the crash and efforts being made by RIM to resolve it.
