Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day

All mobile networks within Australia will experience congestion to some degree in some areas on Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day due to high volumes of mobile traffic.

There will also be congestion when attempting international calls and SMS from your mobile on these days.

Additional mobile base stations will be installed in key locations for New Years Eve, ie Circular Quay in Sydney, to increase network capacity; however there is usually widespread network congestion in these key locations for an hour or 2 after midnight on New Years Day.

For all important “cannot be missed calls” Arrow suggest getting the call in a few hours early to avoid disappointment.

Holiday Tip –

While we love the revenue please, do not use you mobile phone whilst driving, we’d like your custom next year as well.
