WHAT IS ROAMING?
Roaming is the ability to use your cell outside of the SaskTel
cellular area.
Through partnerships with other carriers, SaskTel is able to
offer you cellular coverage throughout Canada. You can also
access your Voice Mail Services and other calling features
throughout Canada.
SaskTel has roaming agreements in most American cellular
coverage areas, so you can also use your cell in most areas of
the United States. However, you may not have access to your
Voice Mail Services and other calling features.
ROAMING IN CANADA
PLACING CALLS
Check to make sure your roam indicator (check your cell’s
manual for indicator symbol) is steady. It has to be steady
before you can make calls.
•
To make a local call, follow the local dialing patterns for
the area you are in*, then press S.
•
To make a long distance call, dial 1 (area code) and the
7-digit number. Press S.
*If you are in an area which has two area codes, such as
Toronto, you must include the area code to make
a local call.
RECEIVING CALLS
While travelling in Canada, Call Delivery automatically
delivers your calls anywhere a roaming partner carrier has
cellular coverage.
•
If you don’t want to receive calls, deactivate Call Delivery
by pressing *19S. (You’ll need to
do this every day because Call Delivery reactivates
around midnight.)
•
If you decide you want to receive calls after deactivating
Call Delivery, you can re-activate it by pressing
*18S.
ACCESSING VOICE MAIL SERVICES WHEN
ROAMING IN CANADA
