Planned Disruptions To Telstra Mobile Network

Due to necessary maintenance works, Telstra will need to shut down parts of its mobile base station at Cowra today, June 25.

This follows work at the site on Monday 23 June and Tuesday 24 June.

There will be some disruption to mobile services in the area. The network will, however, be restored at the day.

Telstra mobile customers will receive texts advising of the upcoming work.

The site was switched off for up to 8 hours between 7am and 5pm.

Landline services, NBN internet services, and mobile coverage from other providers will not be impacted.

Any calls to Triple Zero from a Telstra mobile when the site is off air will automatically be diverted to any working mobile network for connection to emergency services and should not be impacted.

Tips for improving connectivity while works are underway Telstra customers can continue to make calls and send texts during disruption to mobile services by switching on WiFi Calling. This is a free setting on most popular mobile phones and allows your mobile to make and receive mobile calls while connected to Wi-Fi.

Telstra also encourages business owners talk to their bank about connecting their EFTPOS terminals to their nbn or Wi-Fi connection to prevent delays in processing transactions.
