Broadband ISP Virgin Media Business (VMO2) has today followed BTWholsale by launching Microsoft’s ‘Teams Phone Mobile‘ service to its large business customers (250+ employees) in the UK, which among other things makes it easy to move between mobile and desktop Teams calls seamlessly.
According to VMO2, with a single phone number, or Teams ID, Teams Phone Mobile users can make and receive calls over traditional mobile, app-based, or desktop calling. The integrated experience includes mobiles within Teams calling services, allowing employees to extend ‘in a call’ status, access call history, and voicemail across devices for ultimate flexibility.
The company also claims to be “the only UK operator” offering the Teams Calling Automation Portal, enabling organisations to deploy and activate users within minutes. This tool streamlines administrative tasks by providing a centralised management interface where IT administrations can provision, configure, and manage phone numbers and calling features across the organisation.
“There are hundreds and thousands of field workers across the UK – from social workers to consultants, insurance assessors to field engineers – all of whom need unified solutions to do their best work on the move.” said Jessica O’Connor, Product Director at VMO2 Business. “With Teams Phone Mobile now available to our customers, Virgin Media O2 Business is giving these workers the seamless, secure solution they need to do their best work anywhere. Businesses are empowered to make vital cost savings, all while benefitting from enhanced productivity and responsivity.”
