Here in Victoria, BC the eKit Simple Calling (US+Can only version) roams on Rogers (GSM 1900), and Telus (UMTS 850).

The Telus 3G coverage is better than Rogers GSM in some rural areas out of town.

There isn't any roaming permitted on Rogers UMTS/3G ("no access").

Could your Sasktel access be via Telus roaming, rather than Bell? (or are Bell/Telus essentially the same company, for 3G coverage?)
