  Question for @SaskTel and @SamsungCanada, we've been visiting the same part of Meadow Lake Provincial Park for over 20 years. Why did we only have 1 bar of poor cell service in 2004 and by 2026 it hasn't got any better. Why has your technology not improved?

  @LeafandThistle I had that happen the spring of 1998. The WO at Line Training in Kingston invited me to instruct the QL3 line crse. Had to turn him down, as I was hired full time permanent at SaskTel as a lineman. Went to a Class A soldier from that point on.

  @tammyrobert Wait, what? SaskTel should be in SERIOUS trouble over this. I remember back in 2019 dealing with SaskTel because my sister was paying my cellphone bill. I wanted her to be able to have access to my account, so I asked SaskTel how to go about it. (1/2)

  @SassBot69 @RomeTimed @theJagmeetSingh Yeah. However, it wasn't just SaskTel and MTS that offered those prices. Rogers, Bell, and Telus matched. So that leaves 2 possibilities. Either they lost money on providing service there for that price (gouging the rest of us to make up for it) or it was still profitable.

  @bgdoane @SaskTel Bandwidth was a problem when I was in the patch, but I haven't been in the field for 15-20 years.

  @SaskTelSupport I sent you a DM right after you responded to my tweet but the message was never read and I eventually got an automated message to just go to sasktel's website about 45 mins ago. 🙁

  Does anyone else in border communities have **** cell phone service ? We are 4 miles from border and 4 miles to a @SaskTel cell phone tower and for the last week we’ve had to go to the house to send a text ? Theory is that neither of cell providers want to cross the border

  had, and I only state his country of origin so that he can be identified by management as an individual who should not be customer facing. Good bye Sasktel. Avoid this store and if you must stay with Sasktel, go to an independent authorized dealer. -10 stars.
