SASKTEL MOBILITY ANNOUNCES DIGITAL CELLULAR SERVICE IN WHITE CAP FIRST NATION

SaskTel Mobility today announced the availability of digital cellular service on the White Cap First Nation. This digital cellular service improvement will offer better highway, town and in-building coverage to the areas south of Saskatoon including Pike Lake Provincial Park and the Dakota Dunes Golf Course.

"Since 1998, SaskTel Mobility has invested over $120 million to improve its wireless network and is pleased to provide the most extensive cellular network in Saskatchewan," Minister responsible for SaskTel Maynard Sonntag said. "As wireless technology continues to evolve, SaskTel Mobility remains committed to expanding and improving the quality of digital cellular service in this province."

"SaskTel Mobility understands that reliable coverage is critical for many of our customers and digital service with 1X functionality improves call clarity, enhances privacy and provides wireless customers with access to e-mail, corporate databases and the Internet," SaskTel President and CEO Robert Watson said. "We will continue to evaluate the network to provide our mobile customers with the latest wireless technologies over the largest wireless network in the province."

Digital and 1X cellular service provides advanced functionality that allows you to send and receive text messages or browse the Internet, perform banking transactions and access real-time information such as news, weather and stock quotes. Additionally, customers will have access to new services such as Push-to-Talk, which allows customers to use their cellular phone much like a walkie-talkie.
