Roam for the holidays: deal with SaskTel keeps MTS users connected across Saskatchewan


WINNIPEG – MTS has announced an agreement with SaskTel to immediately increase MTS's 4G HSPA+ wireless coverage throughout Saskatchewan. MTS says customers can now enjoy high-quality voice, messaging, and data services on their HSPA devices in more places in Saskatchewan than ever before.

"Our new agreement with SaskTel significantly increases the 4G HSPA+ roaming coverage for MTS customers travelling or doing business in Saskatchewan," said MTS President Kelvin Shepherd. "In addition to coverage previously available to MTS customers in many Saskatchewan locations, we're proud that our 4G HSPA+ roaming now extends throughout rural Saskatchewan."

MTS customers now have access to SaskTel's 4G HSPA+ network which covers 98% of the Saskatchewan population. With download speeds of up to 21 Mbps, MTS customers can surf the Internet or download content on either side of Manitoba's western border says the company.

"Our strong relationship with SaskTel gives MTS customers access to the widest wireless network in Saskatchewan – just in time for the holiday season," added Shepherd.
