SaskTel brings Calm, a leading mental wellness app, to wireless customers across Saskatchewan

November 12, 2025

SaskTel today announced a unique offering that aims to help customers reduce stress and anxiety, sleep better, improve mindfulness, and support their overall mental wellness. Together with Calm®, a leading mental health company, SaskTel and Lüm Mobile are excited to provide their wireless customers with free access to a Calm premium membership which offers a full suite of wellness resources designed to support mindfulness, relaxation, and mental well-being. This groundbreaking initiative is not only a first for SaskTel, but also for Calm in the Canadian market.

“Through this opportunity, our government recognizes that SaskTel is taking an important step forward in promoting daily mental wellness– whether at home, at work, or out in our communities,” said Jeremy Harrison, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “By offering access to mindfulness and stress-reduction resources, SaskTel and Calm are empowering individuals to improve their overall wellbeing.”

Calm offers hundreds of supportive tools like guided meditation, soundscapes, music and mindfulness exercises to help relieve stress and anxiety. Soothing Sleep Stories™ narrated by voices like Matthew McConaughey, Cynthia Erivo, Harry Styles, Colman Domingo and Camila Cabello aid in promoting restful sleep. For general mental wellness, Calm offers practices for everyday mental health, and daily check-ins to promote self-awareness and an improved quality of life.

“Supporting the mental wellness of our customers is a natural extension of SaskTel’s commitment to being a caring and community-focused company,” said Charlene Gavel, SaskTel President and CEO. “By working with Calm, we’re not only enhancing the value of our wireless services—we’re helping people across Saskatchewan tune out daily distractions and connect more mindfully to what matters most to them.”

This integration of Calm’s offerings further solidifies SaskTel’s commitment to enriching everyday life by empowering Saskatchewan people, organizations and communities to reach their full potential. Other SaskTel initiatives that are directly aimed at building a better future for the province include Phones for a Fresh Start program and Be Kind Online.

“At Calm, we’re on a mission to make mental health support accessible to everyone,” said David Ko, CEO of Calm. “We're proud to work with SaskTel to take another step toward that mission by making Calm available to all of their wireless customers, offering them a product that grows with them on every step of their mental wellness journey.”

SaskTel’s Calm offer launches today and is available to all SaskTel wireless business and consumer customers, including both postpaid and prepaid users as well as Lüm Mobile customers.

To activate the Calm premium membership, SaskTel wireless customers can text “Calm” to 42256 (4CALM) where they will be validated as a SaskTel wireless customer and sent a direct link to a Calm premium membership. Lüm Mobile customers can activate the Calm subscription in their myLüm account. Any SaskTel or Lüm Mobile customer that currently has a premium Calm subscription can take advantage of this offer at the expiry of their current Calm subscription.
