I have both rogers and sask tel and the rogers sucks big time unless your in major centers' As mine are pay as you go type. The only reason i bought a rogers phone is i could use it out of the province at the time. But now sasktel is finally jumping on the band wagon and i can now use their service out of province now.I will eventually drop rogers.Pros of Rogers though is you can add more time to your phone by just calling in and giving them your cr.card number. Cons crappy coverage. Right now if you run out of time with sasktel your screwed unless you have a spare card in your wallet.
They do not accept cr. card info over the phone, hopefully this wil change. I dont like having contracts,they seem so binding lollol.

Out in lloyd the telus and sasktel towers constantly switch your signal back and forth, and reception sucks. I get beter service down south at home were there is one tower to cover 50 miles.

Actually down hear none have very good coverage, but sasktel has been busy putting up towers so coverage should improve soon. Right now I have coverage in town but a half mile out of town any direction and I am hooped. I don't get any coverage until about 15 milles from Regina or 5 miles from Moose Jaw.

That`s how I found Rogers to be, good in town and poor out of town. Alot of Sask areas with no coverage, just the main cities and hiway routes have any coverage.
