  Anyone else with a Sasktel phone having issues when crossing from Sask to Manitoba and have to reset phone after crossing border for calls and texts to work? Have had to do this for quite some time now, shows full service but does not allow any calls to come in or texts.

  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

  @jbomberag @SaskTel @davisinst I've had good luck with their support in the past as well. Because both of mine are doing the same thing and started at the same time, I'm thinking it's more of a network issue in this case.

  ~25 minutes ago, the Internet went down for me here; no info from @sasktel/@SaskTelSupport as to what occurred. It seems to be back now, so I'll attempt to start at 9:50 p.m. MDT. Sorry. 😑🙏🏻🎶

  @SaskTelSupport @tmccann14 @SaskTel Don’t feel bad I live in Asquith and we don’t have in reliable in buiding coverage. I have to use WIFI to make and recieve calls. The tower is located out of town. It didn’t work in Meadow Lake, Loon Lake or Goodsoil until they put towers right in town. I was A TST for 38 years.

  @SaskTelSupport @SaskTel So wouldn’t you think that service should be better because it’s sparce incase you need to contact someone! Phone is not the problem!! There’s always talk of all the new 5G upgrades and we don’t even have service!

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat That's what I expect from someone living in a city who is not using Rural internet Providers! As an IT & Cybersecurity Company that supports travel and works across Canada there is nothing as easy and that works as well as Starlink. From Africa to Canada! There are ways to secure data beyond your ISP, if people are not using that they should be. Telesat has been promising their solution for 5 years now, 4 Billion in Taxpayers money and still no testing. Amazon Leo is testing but is also US based.

  10:45 PM: A planned SaskTel outage will occur on March 11, from midnight to approximately 6:00 a.m., while crews complete permanent fibre repairs related to last year’s wildfire damage. During this window, Internet, wireless, and landline (home and business) services will be unavailable across multiple Northeast Saskatchewan communities, including Sandy Bay, Brabant Lake, Geikie River, Wollaston Lake, Black Lake, Key Lake, McArthur River, Cigar Lake, Collins Bay, Stony Rapids, and Fond‑du‑Lac. This work is necessary to repair the damage and ensure the long‑term reliability of services in the area. SaskTel apologizes for any inconvenience this outage may cause and thanks customers for their patience while crews complete the work as quickly as possible. In the event of an emergency, residents in and around these communities will need to physically contact their nearest emergency services for assistance. #skoutage
