  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

  Please be aware that not all of these communities have been directly impacted by the fires themselves, or are currently under threat of wildfire. In some cases, SaskTel transport facility damage has led to these outages. #skoutage
