REGINA – SaskTel today announced it will continue to waive data overage charges through to May 31st, 2020.
This means residential or business customers will not have to pay any wireless domestic data overage charges on SaskTel’s postpaid wireless plans, noStrings prepaid wireless plans or SaskTel fusion (rural fixed wireless) internet plans from March 17th to May 31st, 2020.
