Phone disruptions as Telstra uprades

Any calls to Triple Zero from a Telstra mobile when the site is off air will automatically connect to another mobile network if available for connection to emergency services.

Telstra mobile customers can continue to make calls and send texts during the disruption by switching on WiFi Calling, which allows your mobile to make and receive calls while connected to Wi-Fi.

Business owners are encouraged to talk to their provider about connecting EFTPOS terminals to their NBN or Wi-Fi connection to prevent delays in processing transactions.
