SaskTel to waive data overage charges until June 30

SaskTel is doing its part to help people working from home or students learning remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Monday, the Crown corporation announced it would be waiving data overage charges from Monday until June 30.

Overage charges on domestic data won’t be collected from business or consumer customers, on SaskTel’s postpaid Wireless plans, noSTRINGSPrepaid wireless plans or on SaskTel fusion Internet plans.

“With the added increase in COVID-19 variants in the province and the return to online learning, our government understands the importance of staying connected during these trying times,” Minister Responsible for SaskTel Don Morgan said in a media release. “It has been a stressful year and waiving data overages will alleviate the worry of data usage for SaskTel customers until the end of the school year.”

“SaskTel knows our previous offers were appreciated by our customers and we are once again pleased to assist them with their work from home and online learning requirements,” SaskTel president and CEO Doug Burnett added. “This has certainly been a challenging year for everyone and we hope that by the end of this offer things will be returning to normal for most folks.”
