Telstra Mobile Network Upgrades - Yea

Published on 08 December 2023

Mobile Network Tower

Council would like to share information with the Yea community about the Telstra Mobile Network Upgrade occurring this month. Telstra will be upgrading the mobile network from Monday 11 to Wednesday 20 December. Mobile services may be impacted at various times during this period.

As this upgrade work needs to be carried out during daylight hours for health and safety reasons, Telstra technicians will need to switch off the equipment which support mobile services in the area. This may result in some disruption to mobile services.

These upgrade works can cause disruption to all devices using the Telstra Mobile Network, including but not limited to mobile handsets, EFTPOS machines, and any device with a Telstra Mobile SIM.

Upgrade work and testing, if all goes according to plan, will be completed by Friday 15 December 2023. Site Outages will be kept to a minimum during that period. Please note the site will be fully offline for this entire period and Telstra anticipates launching the improved services as soon as possible.

For further information:

  • If you continue to experience concerns after the outage period, please report faults through 132 200 Telstra Faults.
  • If you are having trouble with EFTPOS, we recommend you contact your bank for assistance.
