SaskTel Service Outages 

Due to the widespread power outages caused by last night’s windstorm, there is the potential for SaskTel service outages, including home phone, cellular, Internet, and maxTV services until power is restored for business and residential customers.

All SaskTel sites have back-up batteries in the event of a power outage.  However, as the power outage continues, they will eventually lose battery life.  SaskTel is placing generators at key locations throughout the province, however, due to the number of sites involved, not every site will be backed up by a generator.  

SaskTel is working closely with the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre and SaskPower to coordinate efforts during this situation.   

SaskTel apologizes for any inconvenience this causes our customers and we would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding.

If you have any questions, please call Greg Jacobs, SaskTel Corporate Communications, 777-3433..
