SaskTel

The Shared Telus, Bell, and SaskTel network in Canada represents a unique collaboration within the North American & Caribbean telecommunications landscape. Operating under Mobile Country Code (MCC) 302, which identifies Canada, and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 880, this shared infrastructure allows Telus, Bell, and SaskTel to provide expanded coverage and enhanced services to their customers, particularly in rural and remote areas. This partnership leverages the strengths of each individual network, reducing redundancy and infrastructure costs. Consumers benefit from access to a more resilient and comprehensive network than might otherwise be sustainable for each company individually. Compared to some other mobile networks in Canada, the Shared Telus, Bell, and SaskTel network stands out due to its collaborative nature. While Rogers, another major Canadian provider, maintains its own distinct infrastructure, this tri-party agreement demonstrates an innovative approach to network deployment and operation. This sharing model is particularly beneficial in a country as geographically vast as Canada, facilitating network reach in regions where a single provider might find it economically challenging to operate independently. The MCC/MNC combination is crucial in identifying and differentiating this network from others operating within Canada's telecom ecosystem and is used by mobile devices worldwide to connect to the appropriate network.
