cell service in MB

[PamH5]

We are from Calgary and have just arrived in Wasagaming, MB and cannot get cell service on my new Android galaxy. What do I do to get service here?

If you check the coverage map....

• you'll find that you need to travel 95km South to Brandon to reach a coverage area for 4G.  You might be limited to local wifi options.

• however you should still get Digital PCS service.

Does the Galaxy work when you are outdoors?  Are you able to make voice calls?  Are you able to Text?

No text or voice and no it doesn't work outside. There is a Rogers network that works and bell seems to as well. I understood bell and Telus partner, but a bell phone from Ontario works here. Very frustrating. We can use wifi no problem.
