Following is a statement Telstra have provided to media regarding the recent mobile issues:

“Our investigations have identified an intermittent fault at our Jurien Bay mobile site reduced mobile performance for some customers between 28-30 April, 22-26 May and 4-9 June. The issue also reoccurred yesterday between 4.45am-3.15pm and we are investigating the cause. While many customers connected to the mobile site in the town haven't experienced these issues, we're sorry for the stress this has caused. It’s a complex fault and we're working with our software vendor and technicians to identify the root cause of the issue as a matter of urgency.”
