TBayTel Network Overview

The Algoma Cellular Telephone Project (CTP) was constructed and is operated by TBayTel.  The map at Fig. 1 above shows their network, including the coverage added as part of the CTP. The network is CDMA based and is compatible with Bell Mobility and Telus. Blackberry service is available.

GSM (used by Rogers) based technology service is available only in the major urban areas of Sault  Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay.

 The area southeast from Hornepayne to Searchmont comprises the CTP area. To find out more about TBayTel go to TBayTel.

The CTP received with funding support from Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) and FedNor.
