Service Interruption - Rogers Cell Phone Service Outage

Please note that as of now – 9:57 AM, Friday, July 8, 2022, all Sagamok Anishnawbek employees with band issued cell phones do not have access to cellular service and there is a widespread Rogers Cellular outage.

Rogers customers across the country lost access to cellular and Internet service at approximately 2:00 AM on July 8, 2022. Many businesses and people across the country rely on Rogers for communication and this is impacting phone calls, internet, debit service, and 911 services when on the Rogers network.

Because the outage is widespread and can impact 911 services for those who rely on the Rogers’ Network, please check on loved ones who may be impacted.

As this point, there has been no indication when the service will be restored, and this will leave band office employees with no cellular connectivity and unable to receive phone calls, texts, or emails.

Rogers latest comment on the issue is, “We know how important it is for our customers to stay connected. We are aware of issues currently affecting our networks and our teams are fully engaged to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We will continue to keep you updated as we have more information to share.”

As a result, we wanted to advise that you may have difficulty reaching certain employees today until Rogers has restored cell phone service.
