Businesses may also note an impact to their EFTPOS terminals if they use the 3G or 4G network, depending on the mobile tower they're connected to, Telstra said.
Telstra's regional general manager Steve Tinker said there's never a perfect time to schedule upgrade work.
"While we've carefully planned upgrade work in the area to minimise disruption, our customers may notice some impact to mobile services," Mr Tinker said.
"We apologise for the interruption but once we're finished it'll mean better services for our customers."
