BT Wholesale has announced its new Microsoft Teams Phone Mobile UCaaS solution to empower channel partners.
Teams Phone Mobile is designed specifically for the UK Wholesale channel and integrates Microsoft Teams’ enterprise-grade collaboration tools with EE’s mobile network. BT Wholesale stresses that this powerful combination ensures reliable, unified communications for today’s distributed workforce.
"Bringing Teams Phone Mobile into our portfolio makes sense for our partners and their customers, and demonstrates our commitment to being front and centre, driving innovation in the market," said Thea Sztejka, Managing Director at BT Wholesale. "We see significant opportunities for channel partners to diversify and grow within the business communications market."
With over 300 million monthly users globally, Microsoft Teams represents a ready-made market brimming with potential. By combining Microsoft Teams with the UK’s best mobile network, our partners can help empower customers to work anywhere, anytime, while strengthening their brand and driving ROI."
As work increasingly occurs across hybrid and distributed environments, BT Wholesale outlines that Teams Phone Mobile aims to enable users to handle calls, messages, and collaboration tasks from a single interface across multiple devices.
BT Wholesale points to strong market indicators behind the development of Teams Phone Mobile. With 72 percent of UK employers now offering flexible working arrangements, and 57 percent of employees citing smartphones as critical to their daily roles, mobility has become a cornerstone of modern business operations.
Furthermore, 71 percent of Microsoft Teams users regularly access the platform via mobile apps, highlighting the growing demand for integrated, mobile-first communication solutions that align with evolving workstyles.
"With the increasing demand from today’s workforce for secure, flexible, and hybrid working experiences, Teams Phone Mobile provides an ideal solution," added Dr Nicola Millard, Principal Innovation Partner at BT Group. " It helps teams to perform at their best by optimising time, reducing costs, and making workflows more seamless - anytime, anywhere. Paired with EE’s speed and reliability, it empowers businesses to stay connected and productive across devices and applications."
For end users, activation requires a Teams Phone SKU or a Microsoft 365 E5 license that includes Teams. Channel partners can access the solution through Complete Mobile, delivering a streamlined, turnkey offering that simplifies deployment and enhances productivity.
