Verizon becomes first U.S. operator to launch Microsoft Teams Phone Mobile
12 Janvier 2023 - 3:00PM
Building on its strategic relationship with Microsoft, Verizon
today announced the ability to deliver Teams Phone Mobile (formerly
Operator Connect Mobile) with the launch of Verizon Mobile for
Microsoft Teams—a new service that integrates mobile devices with
Microsoft Teams for easier calling and collaboration. As the first
U.S. operator to enable wireless subscribers to use their mobile
device's native dialer to receive calls as a Teams endpoint,
Verizon launched Verizon Mobile for Microsoft Teams to create a
unified business communications experience, delivering true mobile
flexibility with the power of Verizon 5G and Teams to users working
from anywhere.
“What we’re hearing from customers is a need for the true
mobilization of unified communications and collaboration to support
their hybrid work environments,” said Sampath Sowmyanarayan, Chief
Executive Officer, Verizon Business. “We’re proud to be the first
operator in the United States to unleash Teams Phone Mobile and to
help customers further mobilize their workforce through the
addition of Verizon Mobile for Microsoft Teams to our robust suite
of collaboration and calling solutions. This is yet another example
of how we’re helping customers to adapt and succeed in today’s
changing workplace by delivering the flexibility to work from
anywhere.”
IT business leaders are increasingly challenged with improving
and consolidating collaboration and calling, increasing the
availability and responsiveness of remote, hybrid and onsite
employees, and reducing costs for redundant devices, voice services
and support. Delivering a mobile-first Teams experience for today’s
increasingly growing mobile workforce, Verizon Mobile for Microsoft
Teams enables anywhere access to Teams capabilities, all via a
single, business-provided phone number for both mobile and desktop
devices, to help streamline hybrid work models. Key benefits:
- Single Number Simplicity: Verizon Mobile for
Microsoft Teams provides the simplicity of using a single phone
number across devices to allow employees the flexibility of being
able to work from virtually anywhere without losing context or
business presence
- Super Call Quality: Teams calls made with the
smartphone dialer are treated as voice calls on the Verizon LTE
network, resulting in superior call quality
- Seamless Call Transfer: Allows users to move
between devices and Teams endpoints during a call without dropping
the call
- True Mobility and Cost Savings: Through an
integrated calling solution that can replace stand-alone solutions,
Verizon Mobile for Microsoft Teams helps to reduce costs while
keeping employees connected
- Security Peace of Mind: The capability to
enforce secure and compliant business policies on all employee
communications
With Microsoft now connecting over 12 million PSTN users,
organizations are realizing the value in using unified calling
platforms to stay connected. With Verizon Mobile for Microsoft
Teams, organizations can have a mobile unified collaboration and
communication experience that minimizes cost and reduces security
risks.
Verizon Mobile for Microsoft Teams is the latest in Verizon's
solutions to enable enterprises to enable hybrid workers to
communicate and collaborate with Microsoft Teams with Verizon
Calling with Microsoft Teams (Direct Routing) and Verizon VoIP for
Operator Connect. For organizations looking for easy ways to
connect Microsoft Teams to existing conference room systems,
Verizon also offers the BlueJeans Gateway for Microsoft Teams.
By combining the global scale and reliability of the Verizon 5G
network with Microsoft Teams, Verizon and Microsoft are providing
enterprise customers the communications tools they need to thrive
in today’s flexible workplace. For more information on Verizon
