In 2024-25, we're investing $140.6 million in wireless infrastructure which will allow us to upgrade more than 200 cell sites across the province including rural and resort areas, First Nations communities, and small population centres. We also plan to expand our 5G 3500MHz coverage, which is a mid-band spectrum that will improve the 5G network by delivering additional speed and capacity across the province in the coming years. SaskTel’s 5G network covers approximately 85% of the Saskatchewan population. SaskTel business customers can take advantage of SaskTel's 5G network which is available in Saskatchewan's nine major urban centres, along major highways, and in rural and resort areas.
Our 5G network is extremely fast, delivering blazing speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps allowing you to stream, download, and upload huge quantities of data in no time at all. 5G is available Canada-wide in select locations and will continue to expand. View 5G coverage. See 5G and LTE Network Enhancements for a list of recently implemented enhancements.
Internet of Things (IoT) support
5G increases the number of devices that can communicate on the network. This allows for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, which refers to physical devices that are connected to the Internet. Smart services that can be managed by a smart phone app are powered by IoT devices.
Lower latency
With 5G, SaskTel is revolutionizing the way we deliver our network and broadband solutions. Lower latency means better connections between your business and the network. Businesses that are looking to start using cutting-edge services, particularly things like driverless vehicles, augmented reality, or virtual reality, will benefit from lower latency.
You'll need a SaskTel 5G-certified device, a 5G-compatible rate plan, and be in 5G coverage to take advantage of 5G speeds. When you're not in 5G coverage, your SaskTel 5G-certifed device will operate on our reliable LTE network.

]]>If you have moved or changed phone numbers, subscribing to Intercept Service for Business will let your callers know that the number they have dialed is no longer in service and will provide them with your new phone number.
With Basic Intercept Service for Business, a caller, dialing a non-working number or a number that has been changed, will be connected to the intercept system. This system will cross reference the old number to the new number and an automated voice will advise the caller of the new number. The caller must then dial the new number.
Intercept Service is payable up-front and will be charged on your final bill. Depending on the number of months you would like Intercept Service on your old line, your bill will be reflected accordingly. This charge is non-refundable.
When submitting your order, we will ask you for your number - please use the number you are disconnecting.
Please ensure your phone service is disconnected before ordering Intercept service.

Block the Blocker allows you to reject incoming callers (local and long distance) that intentionally block their number from displaying on your telephone by using Per Call Blocking, Operator Assisted Call Blocking, and/or other services. As well, incoming cellular calls are treated as blocked calls and will be rejected if no telephone number is delivered.
Now there will be no more unknown numbers, private numbers, or anonymous numbers. Callers who are rejected will hear a recorded message that says, "The number you have dialed will not accept calls if your phone number is blocked. Please try your call again from a different phone number that is not blocked."
When you subscribe to Block the Blocker, it will be activated.
Block the Blocker and 9-1-1 service
Block the Blocker will block calls from emergency services. In an emergency, if you make a 9-1-1 call and hang up before a Public Safety Answering Point operator can answer your call the operator will be unable to call you back.

Wi-Fi Calling lets you make and receive calls and send messages anywhere with a Wi-Fi network, even where there's little to no cell coverage.
No additional cost
As long as you have a compatible rate plan, Wi-Fi Calling is no additional cost. Your standard wireless rates will apply.
No additional data
Beyond providing an alternative to your already exceptional cell service, calling over Wi-Fi doesn't use data from your existing mobile plan.
No additional apps or hardware required
Wi-Fi Calling eliminates the need for extra apps like WhatsApp, Skype, and Viber.
What do I need to use Wi-Fi Calling?
You’ll need a compatible device and a wireless plan that includes unlimited nationwide calling in Canada.
Currently, Wi-Fi Calling is only available on the following devices:
- Apple iPhones (with iOS 15.1 or higher)
- Apple Watches (with watchOS 8.1 or higher)
- Select Samsung Galaxy phones (with Android 14 or higher)
- Select Google Pixel phones (with Android 14 or higher)
How do I use Wi-Fi Calling?
Once you’ve enabled Wi-Fi Calling on your compatible device, when there is little or no cellular signal available and you're connected to a Wi-Fi network, your phone will use Wi-Fi for calls and messages. The status bar will display “SaskTel Wi-Fi” when Wi-Fi Calling is available. For instructions, see:
- Setting up Wi-Fi Calling on your iPhone
- Setting up Wi-Fi Calling on a Samsung Galaxy phone
- Setting up Wi-Fi Calling on a Google Pixel phone
To use Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE must be turned on within the network settings of your device. Wi-Fi Calling cannot be used outside of Canada.
Can I call 9-1-1 while in Wi-Fi Calling mode?
Yes. Your phone will try to place the call over the cellular network first. If there is no cellular coverage, your phone will try to make the call over Wi-Fi and will provide the 9-1-1 call center with the 9-1-1 address you provided during your Wi-Fi Calling setup process.
If the location of your emergency is different than this address, you’ll need to provide the 9-1-1 call center with your location. Visit the Changing your emergency address for Wi-Fi Calling page to learn more.
See Wi-Fi Calling Terms of Service for important information about using this service, including 9-1-1 limitations.

This provides you with high availability equivalents to the standards required for emergency services—24x7x365 redundancy, security, and availability.
Protection from ransomware
Ransomware is a subset of malware designed to target individuals or organizations. Attackers gain full control of the system and restrict access to personal and confidential files unless a ransom is paid. More complicated than malware, it locks up the system files and encrypts them, affecting personal computers, tablets, or smartphones, until a ransom is paid to unlock the system.
How SaskTel Cloud Backup protects you from ransomware:
- Automatically detects the presence of abnormal file activity on your computer, desktop, or server
- File activities are checked every 5 minutes and abnormal activity is reported by an alert and event
- A message will display indicating an irregularity in the amount of file activity detected
- Ransomware can be cleared and data restored from a recent backup
“Around 25 per cent of all businesses will be targeted by hackers at some point. Additionally, 60 per cent of those stores that are not insured do not recover and close within six months. Small shops are often the biggest target.”
— Greg Marcyniuk with Heritage Insurance

SaskTel has Data Centres in multiple locations that are Tier III Uptime Institute Certified and provide redundant power, cooling and power generation. The facilities are site hardened with no windows or doors with direct access to the Data Centre facility. These facilities reside in geologically stable environments with low risk of natural disasters.
Environmental and safety controls
SaskTel Data Centre follows the ASHRAE 2011 Environmental Class A1 guidelines. Temperatures inside the Data Centre are carefully controlled and kept at a constant level, providing optimal operating conditions for data equipment. Air conditioning units, in excess of what is required, supply ventilation and cooling.
The facility features a two-stage fire suppression system with cross-zoned detection that responds to either heat or smoke. In addition, a separate fire detection mechanism constantly samples the air and acts in tandem with detectors mounted on the ceiling.
Power system
The Data Centre is connected to a stable public power grid and in the event of an outage, has backup diesel powered generators with enough fuel to guarantee power for a minimum of 3 days.
Redundant UPS and battery backup provide 20 minutes of power to the facility while the redundant generators start up providing on going power to the facility during an outage. In the event of a disaster that causes an outage for longer than SaskTel's guaranteed fuel supply, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency for emergency service identifies SaskTel as a critical infrastructure provider and would be considered for fuel priority.
Customers are provided A and B power distribution units to each rack providing redundancy for those systems utilizing dual power supplies enabling maintenance to be completed without interruption to customer service.
Security and monitoring
Security is of prime importance in the establishment of a data centre. Access to the SaskTel Data Centres is governed by SaskTel security policies. Physical entry is electronically secured, physically monitored, and staffed by bonded security personnel on a 24/7 basis. The Data Centre is protected by a number of additional measures:
-
The outer perimeter and corridors of the facility are monitored with closed-circuit cameras and motion detectors to ensure that no unauthorized individuals gain access to the facility.
-
To control access to the Data Centre itself, biometric scanners are used in conjunction with key-card access.
The Data Centre is protected with 24/7 onsite security guards and CCTV cameras monitoring access and infrastructure. All authorized customers are required to obtain a criminal record check. These personnel will be provided with secure card access and biometric profiles in order to enter the Data Centre. Unescorted access is granted 24/7 to authorized individuals only.
Vendor relationships
Data Centre servers are devoted to a variety of functions, including applications, databases, data warehousing, systems management, email and groupware. Given the wide array of resources used in delivering Data Centre services, SaskTel has established strong relationships with several vendors, including SUN Microsystems, HP, IBM, Microsoft, EMC, Cisco,VMware, ORACLE, Seccuris, Leibert, Rightline, and Starline
Disaster preparedness
In the event of disaster, SaskTel is committed to maintaining service continuity to the greatest possible extent with the objective of protecting property, plant, service capability and resources. SaskTel maintains an Emergency Operations Centre, which can be activated when necessary for any internal or external situations.
SaskTel has developed Corporate Administrative Procedures that relate to disaster recovery plans and procedures. These procedures are backed by our on-call certified vendors and partners, and are designed to facilitate service continuity methods, as well as operations compatibility.

This service allows customers to have complete control over their network management, including assignments of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), IP addressing, and routing protocols.
Do you need a high bandwidth wide area network in a very remote area? Microwave Ethernet Extension service provides a fibre-based network for remote areas.
]]>Benefits
- Get multi-drop metro or provincial wide area network connectivity using familiar Ethernet connections. The result: a unified network with more bandwidth, scalability, and flexibility.
- Simple Ethernet tagging allows your in-house IT personnel or IT partners to build a flexible network with multiple bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) profiles that can be matched to traffic type or application.
- Delivers a level of security and reliability that Internet-based VPN’s simply cannot match and enables the secure distribution of private applications, services, and data in a cost-effective manner.
- Prioritize voice, video, and data traffic and transmit it through a single connection to improve productivity and lower your cost of doing business.
- Allows seamless interconnection of local area networks without relying on the public Internet.
Features
- Dedicated fibre optic connections to allow Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) between 1 and 10 Gbps of bandwidth*
- Multiple virtual connections over a single access, each with its own bandwidth allocation
- Various VLAN mapping options to provide traffic segregation and prioritization
- Numerous bandwidth and QoS profiles to match the requirements of your network and applications
- Reliable service backed by a Service Level Agreement and 24x7 support
*10 Gbps capable accesses available in select locations
Add-ons
VPLS Internet
Adds a new EVC type to deliver internet connectivity directly to your locations over your VPLS access. Since the internet connectivity is delivered as an EVC and shares the UNI (physical access) with the VPLS service, adding internet to existing VPLS no longer requires dedicated facilities to access the public internet using your VPLS access.
VPLS IP Trunking
An interconnect option that provides an access to the SaskTel IP Trunking service through a single shared physical device. VPLS IP Trunking is a near real time EVC that is engineered and designed to carry voice traffic. An EVC allows voice traffic to be separated on a single physical connection.
Cloud Access
Secure and reliable connectivity to the cloud. Cloud Access provides a direct connection between your locations and cloud service providers for a better networking solution when compared to the public Internet.
Benefits
- Provisioned as fibre-based service that provides an Ethernet connection between geographically diverged customer locations.
- Offers secure and dedicated network connectivity, safeguarding against unauthorized access, tampering, and data breach.
- Can be easily scaled to accommodate changes in bandwidth requirements, making it an ideal solution for businesses with growing needs.
- Multiple Quality of Service (QoS) profile options that allow for the prioritization of traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth needed to operate efficiently.
- Customer-managed service allowing greater control over network activities.
Features
Ethernet Private Line (EPL)
EPL service provides single EVC between two customer locations. EPL service enables customers to use any VLANs or Ethernet control protocol across the service. EPL provides a pure point-to-point connection without VLAN tagging and will allow the customer to use features like Media Access Control security (MACsec) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). EPL permits the delivery of non-native Ethernet access speeds with a selected QoS profile within the EVC.
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
EVPL is similar to EPL but supports the added flexibility to multiplex EVCs onto single physical interface at the customer's hub or aggregation site, in effect, creating a point-to-multipoint or spoke and hub topology. The EVPL solution will allow for the secure partitioning of Ethernet connections over a shared infrastructure and permits the delivery of non-native Ethernet access speeds, while allowing differentiated QoS between EVPL instances and between different traffic categories within an EVC.
Quality of Service (QoS) Options
Near Real Time
Offers a full speed Committed Information Rate (CIR) for low latency expedited transmissions of traffic for delay-sensitive, real-time applications such as voice and video that require strict priority over other traffic types.

COVID-19 challenged local charities to come up with new fundraising ideas. For Kinsmen TeleMiracle, the introduction of the paperless 50/50 draw helped them through the crisis. This video tells the story of Kinsmen TeleMiracle using EchoLotto, an online platform for raffles, charities, and nonprofits to hold province-wide online 50/50s that helps them raise the funds they need to deliver the services they provide.
When the numbers rolled in, the final total ended up being the third highest total ever raised in the 45-year history of TeleMiracle. The solution was backed by SaskTel Cloud Hosting, a service that delivers a managed environment for server equipment.
When the Saskatchewan Roughriders moved into the new Mosaic Stadium, they faced several obstacles. Their former office was in a building that was challenged in terms of technology and they were moving into a new, state-of-the-art facility. They turned to SaskTel because we understand their business needs.
The Roughriders had long been a SaskTel customer and the organization was already enjoying the advantages of Cloud Hosting. It provided a strong starting point to build a custom solution for the team. It provided a strong starting point to build a custom solution for the team. We recommended augmenting their portfolio of SaskTel services with Hosted Collaboration Solution, connecting the entire office with the rest of the world. The Riders also went with Hosted Contact Centre to optimize their resources.
"Whether it's that move to SaskTel's data centre or allowing our fans to contact our ticket office through phone solutions, SaskTel really handles our technology," says Craig Reynolds, President and CEO, Saskatchewan Roughriders. "And that allows us to focus on our business, which is running a football team."

Ken Seitz, former President & CEO, tells us how this solution "significantly reduced our risks and capital costs."
“We looked in Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg, and yet we were most impressed with SaskTel's data centre.”

Alex Morgun stresses that Hospitals are not built to be data centres. Instead, they should be using that space to provide patient care.

Watch how SaskTel infiNET helps serve clients
“We needed the most dependable network and the fastest Internet – and SaskTel delivered.” Nolan Tabashniuk, former Chief Operating Officer of Century 21 Dome Realty®
SaskTel: technology partner of choice for Century 21 Dome Realty®
Century 21 Dome Realty® started doing business in Regina in 1982. They quickly established a strong presence in their community and earned a market share as high as 40%. Today they vie for top spot in the real estate industry for homes sold. On an annual basis, the real estate agents of Century 21 Dome Realty® help approximately 1,600 families find homes.
It’s not going to be easy for Century 21 Dome Realty® to stay at the peak of the industry, so they came to SaskTel looking for a competitive edge. Among the options we recommended and provided was the infiNET 300 service. It gives them access to more high-performance internet service options including higher speeds, advanced features and functionality, and higher service reliability.
“It’s a much faster service with the capability to move a lot more data for relatively minimal additional cost,” says Nolan Tabashniuk, former Chief Operating Officer. “Our business takes technology seriously. SaskTel has been able to deliver the reliability and speed we need.”

For data usage within Saskatchewan, please see the Wireless Fair Use Policy.
In Canada
While on another carrier's network in Canada (with whom SaskTel has roaming agreements):
- With the exception of customers who use more than half of their data outside of Saskatchewan (see below), your data usage limits anywhere in Canada are the same as when you are on the SaskTel network:
- 10 GB per billing period for plans that include unlimited data.
- 15 GB per billing period for the Ultimate 100 plan, the Ultimate 105 plan, VIP 85 plan, Business VIP 60 plan, and Business VIP 80 plan.
- Primary data use outside of Saskatchewan - SaskTel wireless data services are meant to be used primarily within Saskatchewan. If a majority of your data usage on an ongoing basis is occurring outside of Saskatchewan, we reserve the right to limit your data speeds, the amount of data transferred, deny, suspend or terminate the service or any part, component or feature thereof, without notice, to anyone believed to be using any SaskTel provided wireless data service or feature in any manner that adversely impacts SaskTel. This reservation applies to all data plans and will affect all of your wireless internet and data services.
International (anywhere outside of Canada)
There are no data usage limits or speed reductions imposed by SaskTel when you travel internationally; but remember, you have to pay for the data you use, and it can be quite expensive. For example, roaming charges in some areas are up to $15 per MB.
Before travelling, we recommend you:
- look at the Travel Add Ons that are available
- understand your Notifications and limits on data charges and your Wireless spending limit which can help you manage your roaming costs,
- use the Data Usage Calculator to help you estimate your data usage
Changes to this policy
We'll inform you of any changes in this policy by posting such changes to sasktel.com and communicating them to you in such other manner or medium as we determine is reasonable in the circumstances. We'll give 30 days prior notice of changes to this policy.
On August 5, 2015, changes were made to the Non-SaskTel Network Data Usage Policy that make the policy easier to understand and improve your wireless experience.
- The 200 MB usage limit while on other networks was removed
- The 10 GB usage limit while subscribed to a United States Travel Add-On was removed
- The area in rural Manitoba where the speed of service is restricted is made clear with a map
- The minimum speed restriction in rural Manitoba was changed from 128 Kbps to 384 Kbps
- The primary data use outside of Saskatchewan section was emphasized and clarified.
In October 2015, throttling activities specific to rural areas in Manitoba were removed. All Non-SaskTel Network Data traffic within Canada is treated the same.

- SaskTel Privacy Policy (pdf) effective April 1, 2019
Privacy Policy
Protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information is our highest priority.
Our commitment to your privacy
We place a high priority on the loyalty of our customers, and that loyalty is built on a foundation of good products, competitive prices, and, above all, excellent customer service.
Respecting your right to privacy is an important part of our service excellence commitment. We promise to treat your personal information with the utmost respect. That includes keeping you up-to-date on your rights as our customer and providing you with information on how we use your personal information. Our Privacy Statement outlines our commitment to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information.
We may update this statement from time to time as reflected in the effective date of this document, so please review it periodically. You're also encouraged to review the Legal Notices and User Agreement provided on this website. They, too, are provided for your information and protection.
Why we collect personal information
Personal information is defined as information about an identifiable individual. This includes information on your product and service subscriptions and usage. Publicly available information—like a public telephone book listing of your name, address, and telephone number—is not considered personal information.
We might collect information from you in person, over the phone, by mail, in writing or verbally or when you use one of our digital channels such as our website, mobile applications or contact us through social media in writing or verbally.
We collect information about you during the application process to confirm your identity and credit history, when communicating or transacting business with you, and when providing service to you. We may also collect information about you from third parties that have the right to disclose such information to us. However, prior to collecting this information, we would first get your consent except where it is impractical or inappropriate to do so.
Telephone calls and online chat sessions to or from our service representatives may be monitored and/or recorded. Your telephone and chat discussions with our representatives are used for our mutual protection, to enhance customer service, improve interactions with our representatives and to confirm our discussions with you.
Customers who prefer not to have their calls recorded can transact business at a store, dealer, or online at our web site.
We may also use video monitoring at SaskTel buildings to ensure the safety of our staff, our customers, and for fraud prevention.
From time to time, we may obtain information from 3rd party companies (such as geographic data) and combine it with information we have about you to help us provide product recommendations and offers that we think will interest you.
The personal data we collect will vary depending on the products or services inquired about or purchased, and may include: your name, address, phone number(s), date of birth, government issued identification, email address, the name of your company, name of a device user(s), IP addresses, device identification information such as your wireless SIM and IMEI, internet/TV gateway, service usage and site usage information, billing and transaction information, and financial information such as your bank account number.
We understand that some of this information is confidential, which is why we collect personal information only for the following purposes:
- To establish and maintain a responsible commercial relationship with you and to provide you with ongoing service. For example, we'll collect information about you during the application process to conduct a credit check, such as your date of birth or driver’s license number, or when communicating or transacting business with you to confirm your identity. If you prefer to use pre-authorized payment for our services, we'll collect bank account information to process payment.
- To understand your needs and develop and recommend suitable products and services. We maintain a record of products and services you receive from us, and we may ask you for additional information so we can serve you better. For instance, if you wish to view your bill using our electronic payment service, we'll ask for your email address. We may also ask about your calling habits so we can recommend the best long distance plan.
- To manage your account and understand your needs and preferences. This allows us to offer you better products and special offers that we think may be of interest to you.
- To manage and develop our business and operations, including personnel and employment matters. For example, we analyze the usage of our networks to plan for future growth. Your use of SaskTel services creates personal information, such as usage information, as a result of the operating systems internal to SaskTel. We also collect information from individuals who apply for jobs with SaskTel.
- To meet legal and regulatory requirements. For example, we may collect information to respond to a court order.
Social Insurance Number (SIN) and Health Services Card (HSC)
SaskTel may request SIN or HSC however customers are not obligated to provide it and the provision of service will not be denied should the SIN or HSC be withheld.
Customers may provide 2 other forms of identification, such as driver's license number or passport where they do not wish to provide their SIN or HSC and are still able to obtain service in accordance with our current credit policies.
Regardless of whether or not a SIN or HSC is provided by the customer, the credit check result may require a condition of service to be met such as providing a deposit or alternate form of security, pre-authorized payment, in the case of wireless noSTRINGS Prepaid service, or a reduction in the services or with restrictions such as toll restrictions.
See Can SaskTel ask for my SIN and HSC information?
Sharing your personal information
Personal information is not sold or rented to any parties outside of the SaskTel corporate family without your consent or as permitted by SaskTel's Tariff.
We do share this information with the companies we select as our business partners, and who supply services to us. However, we require them, by contract, to honour our privacy principles in the handling of personal information they obtain from us.
The information provided to our business partners is used only for that purpose and any disclosure outside of SaskTel is made on a confidential basis. Should we sell a part of our business or merge or amalgamate part or all of our business with another entity, we may need to disclose customer information as part of the transaction. This is a normal business practice in any such transaction. Any such disclosure would be subject to appropriate privacy and security safeguards. In certain circumstances in which it is necessary to do so, or where permitted by law, we may disclose your personal information without your consent to the following parties:
- The customer or an agent acting on the customer's behalf, such as Power of Attorney;
- Companies we select as our business partners;
- A company that publishes a directory or directory-related services;
- A collection agency or party used to determine creditworthiness, or for collecting unpaid balances;
- A credit bureau reporting agency;
- Courts, law enforcement agencies, or otherwise legally empowered entities;
- We may disclose personal information to meet legal or regulatory requirements, such as under a court order or, to a government institution if required or authorized by law;
-
- This includes Statistics Canada, under the authority of the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada requests wired and wireless phone numbers for their surveys and statistical programs. For more information, please contact Statistics Canada.
- To public authorities or their agents in cases of emergency, e.g., a 911 call;
- Ombudsman
How we safeguard your information
The information you provide to us on our web site is securely maintained and kept confidential. Information is retained in secure facilities, and protected from unauthorized access. We provide technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure.
For some services, SaskTel uses service providers located in another country to process and store information related to that service and as a result foreign governments, courts, law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws of that country.
Personal information handling principles
We've always been, and will continue to be, committed to the privacy of your personal information. In addition to our existing procedures and our adherence to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP), which governs our approach to handling personal information, we've adopted the following privacy principles from the Canadian Standards Association's Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information:
Principle 1 - Accountability
SaskTel is responsible for the personal information under our control and we've designated a Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) to be accountable for our compliance with the privacy principles.
Principle 2 - Identifying purposes for the collection of personal information
We'll identify the purpose for collecting personal information at or before the time the information is collected.
Principle 3 - Obtaining consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information
We require the knowledge and consent of the customer for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information except where it is impractical or inappropriate to do so, such as in emergency situations.
Principle 4 - Limiting collection of personal information
We'll limit the collection of personal information to that which is necessary for the purposes identified by the company. We will collect personal information by fair and lawful means.
Principle 5 - Limiting use, disclosure, and retention of personal information
We won't use or disclose personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
Principle 6 - Accuracy of personal information
Personal information will be as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
Principle 7 - Security safeguards
We'll protect personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
Principle 8 - Openness
We'll make readily available, to customers and employees, specific information about its policies and procedures relating to the management of personal information.
Principle 9 - Customer and employee access to personal information
Upon request, customers and employees shall be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of his or her personal information and shall be given access to that information. An individual shall be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate.
Principle 10 - Challenging compliance
A customer may address a challenge concerning compliance with the above principles to the Chief Privacy Officer.
Our personnel are required to complete mandatory privacy training courses, and general staff education and training, to enhance awareness of responsibilities and commitments towards the proper handling of customer's personal information in accordance with our policies and procedures.
What are your choices?
We'd like to have your consent to continue to collect, use, and disclose your personal information for the purposes that we have outlined. However, you do have choices.
- You can have your name removed from our telephone, mail, or email marketing lists. By doing so, you may not be made aware of certain products, services, and promotions we offer. However, you'll continue to be contacted as necessary to service your account, and you'll receive marketing information included with your regular account mailings. Please allow us 10 days to complete your request. Some of our promotions may already be in progress when you submit your request, therefore you may be contacted during this time. If at any time you wish to reverse your decision, you may contact us at 1-800-SaskTel (1-800-727-5835).
- Our directory publisher, DirectWest, makes lists of published names, addresses, and phone numbers available to selected organizations for a fee. You may choose to be excluded from these DirectWest lists. Please note that non-published names, addresses, and phone numbers are automatically excluded.
- You may refuse to provide personal information to us. You may also withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal, contractual, or practical restrictions and reasonable notice. However, in either case, this may limit our ability to serve you. When you contact us, we will confirm that you are the registered customer. Please know that withdrawing your consent may prevent us from providing you with service and products in certain circumstances.

"Whether it's that move to SaskTel's data centre or allowing our fans to contact our ticket office through phone solutions, SaskTel really handles our technology," says Craig Reynolds, President and CEO, Saskatchewan Roughriders. "And that allows us to focus on our business, which is running a football team."
SaskTel: official technology partner of the Saskatchewan Roughriders
When the Saskatchewan Roughriders moved into the new Mosaic Stadium, they faced several obstacles. Their former office was in a building that was challenged in terms of technology and they were moving into a new, state-of-the-art facility. They turned to SaskTel because we understand their business needs.
The Roughriders had long been a SaskTel customer and the organization was already enjoying the advantages of Cloud Hosting. It provided a strong starting point to build a custom solution for the team. We recommended augmenting their portfolio of SaskTel services with Hosted Collaboration Solution, connecting the entire office with the rest of the world. The Riders also went with Hosted Contact Centre to optimize their resources.
“Having a partner like SaskTel who can understand our business needs as opposed to just selling us services is really important and one of our keys to success,” says IT Manager Ricardo Del Cid. “Having solutions that are understood and well-supported at the end of the day is what’s going to keep the lights on here.”

Certificate of Recognition (COR)
COR certification measures a company's level of standards and safety over a number of criteria such as maintenance, safety practices, the management team, and environmental procedures.
We were COR certified as of 2011.
ISNetworld (ISN)
ISNetworld is a global resource for connecting corporations with safe, reliable contractors/suppliers. ISN collects self-reported conformance information from contractors/suppliers, verifies its accuracy, and then reports the results.
We achieved ISNetworld certification in 2012.
Contractor Safety Awareness Association (CSAA)
The CSAA is made up of several pipeline/utility companies, Sask 911, Sask 1st Call, and CP Rail and promotes contractor safety.
For over 20 years, the CSAA has hosted a free annual Contractor Safety Breakfast in March/April in over 30 communities across Saskatchewan to increase awareness of working safely around underground and overhead lines.
We are proud to be a member of the CSAA.

Easy to start, easy to learn
Setup and training are simple with intuitive and easy-to-use web interfaces. Managers and supervisors have complete control to easily and quickly manage call distribution and instantly move agents between queues and channels.
Save costs and take control
Forget expensive building expansions. As a hosted, web-based solution, you will not need to purchase expensive hardware and software—your solution is always available even if your office and network are not. And, you can complete all your agent moves, adds, and changes yourself.
Get a solution that grows with your business
Your future growth is no problem with HCC. You can add agent seats as needed, without raising your infrastructure costs.
Make business decisions with data analytics
Business intelligence tools such as metric reporting and campaign management allow you to know what is happening in your contact center’s day-to-day operations. Choose from a list of pre-made reports or create custom reports to suit your business needs.
Data security and support you can count on

"Migrating to the SaskTel VPN Aggregation option over LANspan IP has saved South East Cornerstone School Division $80,000 over a four-year period through reduced hardware and licensing costs.
In addition, we can leverage VPN Aggregation as we migrate to fiber-based WAN services; we can potentially eliminate the network distribution layer and rely entirely on SaskTel routers at the school level, which could additionally save well over $250,000 every four years.
Also, using SaskTel's managed VPN service instead of having to manage our own IPsec VPN solution has saved us an estimated $80,000 - $160,000 in labour costs over the past four years."
—Justin Arendt - Manager of Information Systems, South East Cornerstone School Division

Learn more about Wireless Backup
Maintain productivity. Many employees require a connection to the internet or off-site network resources to perform their work. A disruption can negatively impact productivity, costing your business time and money.
Peace of mind. Even during disruptions to your primary connection, wireless backup keeps you in business and in contact with partners, customers, and suppliers.
Wireless Backup can detect a disruption to your wireline connection and will automatically switch your primary access over to a wireless connection, keeping mission critical applications up and running such as:
- Point of Sale (POS)
- ATMs
- Cloud services and remote applications
- Inventory or database applications
When your primary service is restored, Wireless Backup will automatically move your connection from wireless back to your Business Internet, Dedicated Internet, or LANspan IP access without you having to do anything.
Wireless Backup is an all-inclusive contingency feature with no hidden usage fees or data throttling, so even during an outage to your primary access, your business can continue to operate.
]]>SaskTel data limitations are in place to ensure an optimal network experience for all our customers. By managing the data usage of a very small group of the heaviest data users, we can maintain a higher quality of service for all customers.

Exceeding The Wireless Fair Use Policy Limits for Data
If you exceed the Wireless Fair Use Policy usage limits, your wireless data service will be slowed down to:
- 256 Kbps download and upload speeds for Talk + Text + Data 15
- 512 Kbps download and upload speeds for Total 5, Total 10, totalSHARE Data Only, totalSHARE Nationwide, totalSHARE Canada & U.S., totalSHARE Canada, U.S. & Mexico, VIP 35, VIP 70, totalSHARE Watch, totalSHARE Watch $0, Smart Data 1, Smart Data Standalone 1, Promo Nationwide 25 — Unlimited, Promo Canada & U.S. 45 — Unlimited, Promo Canada & U.S. 70 – Unlimited, noSTRINGS Complete Nationwide 95, noSTRINGS Complete Canada & U.S. 100, noSTRINGS Complete Canada & U.S. 115
- 1 Mbps download and upload speeds for noSTRINGS Complete 95
- 2 Mbps download and upload speeds for all other wireless data plans that include unlimited data
The slowdown will be for the remainder of your billing period. This will affect all of your wireless data services such as browsing the web, streaming audio and video, uploading and downloading pictures and any apps that require an internet connection.
Please be assured that this slowdown will still allow you to access web browsing, email and instant messaging. While you probably won't notice the difference if you are browsing webpages, you may notice difficulty in doing activities that consume high bandwidth, such as when you try to stream radio or videos.
Notifications
If you go over the data limit, you'll receive a text message informing you that your data speed has been reduced for the rest of your billing period. Please note that Mobile Internet and MiFi devices are unable to receive text messages. Incoming text messages are always free.
- From: 3065200051
- Message: "Your SaskTel wireless data speed in Canada has been reduced for the rest of this bill period. www.sasktel.com/fairuse"
To prevent your service from being slowed, you can monitor your data usage by visiting mysasktel.com.
Restoring Your Data Speeds
At the end of your billing period, your data speed will return to normal. However, if your data usage exceeds the limit in any subsequent billing period, your wireless data service will again be slowed for the remainder of that period.
See Restoring your wireless data speed for more information.
Non-SaskTel Network Data Usage
We've partnered with other carriers to offer wireless coverage outside of Saskatchewan. As a result of these partnership costs, we've established the Wireless Fair Use Policy to manage your wireless data usage while you're using another carrier's network outside of Saskatchewan.
In Canada
While on another carrier's network in Canada (with whom SaskTel has roaming agreements):
- With the exception of customers who use more than half of their data outside of Saskatchewan (see below), your data usage limits anywhere in Canada are the same as when you are on the SaskTel network.
- Primary data use outside of Saskatchewan: SaskTel wireless data services are meant to be used primarily within Saskatchewan. If a majority of your data usage on an ongoing basis is occurring outside of Saskatchewan, we reserve the right to limit your data speeds and/or the amount of data transferred; deny, suspend or terminate the service or any part, component or feature thereof, without notice, of anyone believed to be using any SaskTel provided wireless data service or feature in any manner that adversely impacts SaskTel. This reservation applies to all data plans and will affect all of your wireless internet and data services.
International
There are no data usage limits or speed reductions imposed by SaskTel when you travel internationally; but remember, you have to pay for the data you use, and it can be quite expensive. For example, roaming charges in some areas are $15 per MB.
Wireless Voice and Text Usage
The SaskTel Wireless Fair Use Policy includes new information on limits and restrictions for voice and text services purchased on an unlimited basis. We want to make sure you understand how these services work to prevent any surprises on your bill.
Please Note: SaskTel does not guarantee the speed of its wireless network nor the speed of any SaskTel wireless service due to a variety of factors including without limitation, customer device type, SaskTel wireless network congestion, SaskTel wireless signal strength and the distance the customer is from a SaskTel wireless service tower when accessing the SaskTel wireless network or using any SaskTel wireless service. Building materials may also impact indoor coverage, speed and performance of the SaskTel wireless network and SaskTel wireless service offerings.
