DIGITAL CELLULAR SERVICE FOR ESTEVAN AND AREA

Released on May 15, 2002

SaskTel Mobility customers in Estevan, Midale, Outram and area now have the

power of digital cellular service. Additional expansion scheduled for

Southeast Saskatchewan this year includes Carlyle, Kenosee Lake, Carnduff

and Oxbow.



"By extending digital cellular service to more communities in 2002, SaskTel

is once again putting Saskatchewan people first," Crown Investments

Corporation Minister Maynard Sonntag said. "This groundbreaking expansion

program - combined with the recently announced expansion of SaskTel High

Speed Internet service to 191 more communities this year and next - will

connect Saskatchewan people to each other and the world like never before."



"With this continued expansion of SaskTel Mobility's digital cellular

network, we're getting closer to our goal of giving more than 90 per cent

of Saskatchewan's population access to digital cellular service," SaskTel's

Senior Vice-President, Customer Service Operations & Mobility Diana

Milenkovic said. "When this project is complete next year, our digital

cellular service will completely overlay today's analog cellular network."



For 2002 - year two of a three-year, $24 million project - SaskTel Mobility

has scheduled digital cellular expansion to many communities across

Saskatchewan, including communities surrounding Meadow Lake, Assiniboia,

Weyburn, Estevan, Indian Head, Esterhazy and Kamsack.



There are several advantages of digital cellular service over analog

cellular, including improved call clarity, enhanced privacy and longer

battery life. Digital cellular service allows you to send and receive text

messages with Notifi! or surf the internet, perform banking transactions

and access real-time information such as news, weather and stock quotes

with Mobile Browser.



With digital cellular service, SaskTel Mobility offers Mobile Office

Solutions allowing customers to access corporate databases, E-mail and

Intranets while remaining mobile and out of the office.



SaskTel Mobility is Saskatchewan's complete wireless solutions provider,

offering digital and analog cellular, wireless data and Internet, FleetNet

800, and satellite. It is a division of SaskTel, the leading full service

communications company in Saskatchewan, offering complete wireline,

wireless, Internet and e-business solutions over a state-of-the-art,
