SaskTel is reversing their previously announced fees for email accounts, which would have been brought into effect in April.

SaskTel released the following statement:

"As Saskatchewan’s leading communications provider, SaskTel recognizes the importance of providing advanced and reliable communications services that are also affordable.

In light of the feedback we’ve received from our customers, and as directed by our shareholder, SaskTel will no longer be implementing a $1.95/month charge for sasktel.net email addresses as was reported earlier this week.

We remain firmly committed to delivering leading-edge communications services to our customers across the province."
