Switch off will deliver town phone upgrade

MOBILE phone connectivity will be upgraded in Boort next week.

Telstra said there would be no 3G and 4G coverage from the mobile base station for four days from Monday.

“Work will continue on Friday, August 18, with only temporary interruptions during the day as we conduct the network testing and integration required to complete the works,” said Telstra regional general manager Steve Tinker.

Mr Tinker said landlines, NBN internet services and mobile coverage from other providers would not be impacted. Triple Zero calls from a Telstra mobile would be diverted to any working mobile network.
