January 17, 2017

SaskTel today announced it has launched 4G LTE roaming in the United States with AT&T providing up to 10 times faster data speeds than 3G. AT&T’s 4G LTE network will help keep SaskTel customers connected while traveling south of the border.

“This roaming agreement with AT&T will enable SaskTel customers to enjoy 4G LTE wireless speeds while travelling in the U.S.,” said Ron Styles, SaskTel President and CEO. “SaskTel is committed to delivering superior international coverage to our customers and the resulting faster mobile data speeds will provide improved performance to our customers roaming across the U.S.”

SaskTel offers a variety of Roam & Relax Travel Packages to meet our customers travel needs. Customers can opt-in to Roam & Relax U.S. Daily Rates, by texting "Join" to 400400, and then replying "Yes" to confirm. Once customers have opted-in, they will automatically get the Roam & Relax U.S. Daily rates of $5/day for 300MB of data and $3/day for unlimited voice calling, any time they travel to the U.S. For additional minutes, text messages and data, customers can take advantage of a Roam & Relax U.S. Travel Add-on.
