Telus launches mobile network in Saskatchewan


REGINA – Telus has rolled out its new wireless network in what it describes as “tech hungry” Saskatchewan.

As part of the company’s investment in 3G+ wireless services this year, Telus entered into a enhanced network sharing agreement with SaskTel that builds on arrangements the companies have had in place since 1999.  The network sharing agreement facilitates the deployment of next generation wireless voice and data services for Telus customers in Saskatchewan, optimizes cell-site utilization, and maximizes the potential for operating efficiencies.

"Telus is excited to bring its new blazing fast 3G+ network, the biggest in Saskatchewan, along with some of the coolest devices on the planet, many available only from Telus", said CCO Joe Natale, in a statement.  “Consumers and businesses in Saskatchewan now have more choice than ever before."

Customers may now take advantage of wireless data download speeds of up to 21 megabits per second, have access to new mobile devices, and international roaming service to more than 200 countries.  Telus said that it would also extend a 30-day money back guarantee on all its 3G+ devices.
