November 8, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some Telstra customers in the Blackbutt and Benarkin areas have been without a consistent mobile phone service for a fortnight.<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> asked Telstra on Friday about the situation after being contacted by a reader.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said the outages were temporary due to upgrades, and all customers had been contacted by SMS to advise them beforehand:<\/p>\n

Telstra is upgrading its mobile base station that services Blackbutt and Benarkin by adding additional infrastructure to bring\u00a0<\/strong>new 5G coverage and upgrade the existing 4G\u00a0coverage. <\/em><\/p>\n

The works will provide better connectivity for local residents and required a series of temporary outages or reductions in mobile coverage. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Telstra mobile customers received text messages advising of the upcoming work and a recommendation to activate wi-fi calling. <\/em><\/p>\n

Landline services, NBN internet services and mobile coverage from other providers are not impacted. <\/em><\/p>\n

Any calls to Triple Zero from a Telstra mobile when the site was off air were automatically diverted to any working mobile network for connection to emergency services.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
