How we picked the best plans

SaskTel knows Saskatchewan—after all, it is a provincial Crown company. The customers are the owners, so it’s no surprise that it offers the best cell phone deals in Saskatchewan.

We've been studying the telecom market since 2008 and have learned how to spot the plans that provide good service and good value. We've scoured the fine print of SaskTel's plans to find the best plans and deals for you. The best SaskTel plans include unlimited 5G data, unlimited talk and text, and BYOD discounts. Although SaskTel is only available for Saskatchewan residents, the carrier offers coverage throughout all of Canada.

Read on to learn about the best SaskTel cell phone plans.

How we picked the best SaskTel plans

Price & value
We ensured you’re getting the most bang for your buck without sacrificing the essentials to keep you connected.
High-speed data
We looked at whether the amount of guaranteed “premium” data was reasonable for the plan price, and flagged if you’re being overcharged for data you likely don’t need.
Coverage & network reliability
We evaluated each carrier’s nationwide 4G LTE and 5G coverage to predict your service quality (no dropped calls allowed!).
Plan extras and perks
If you get free Netflix or a hefty hotspot, we factored those in relative to the cost of the plan.

Methodology: How WhistleOut rates cell phone plans

WhistleOut evaluates phone plans based on the following criteria:

Price & value: Not all cheap plans are “bad,” and not all expensive plans are worth it. We look at everything a plan includes and compare it to other plans from the same carrier, as well as similar plans from competitors in the market, to determine whether the value is consistent with the price.
High-speed data: Also called “premium” data, this is how much data you get at full 4G/5G speeds before they can or will slow down. The more guaranteed high-speed data the plan includes, the better experience you’ll generally have—but there’s also usually a limit to how much you need, and we ensure that you’re not overpaying for data that will go unused.
Coverage & network reliability: The breadth of each carrier’s 4G LTE and 5G networks determines your reception and service. Particularly in the case of 5G, some carriers offer far more robust coverage than others, which affects how their phone plans perform in different parts of the country.
Plan extras and perks: In addition to the basics—talk, text, and data—some plans throw in freebies like hotspot allowances, cloud storage, entertainment subscriptions, or service discounts.

Our mobile experts leveraged proprietary data and real-world customer feedback to evaluate the best SaskTel plans. We compared plans by analyzing their coverage, cost, and plan options. We considered plan-specific elements, including perks, and premium data allowances. After performing hands-on testing and extensive research, including customer feedback, we picked the plans we feel meet the needs of most people.
