The future of business communication without MS Teams licensing costs
Microsoft Teams has become the go-to collaboration platform for Dutch companies. Yet many organizations struggle with the high costs and complexity of MS Teams telephony. MS Teams Phone System licenses cost, depending on the MS Teams Base License, easily between €13 and €25 per user per month; Operator Connect requires external dependencies, and costly implementations can take months with complex network adjustments.
With TeamsForMobile, Public Mobility introduces an innovative, future-proof solution that completely eliminates these challenges, while still allowing the user’s mobile number to be used within MS Teams. Through direct integration via the Public Mobility API, MVNOs can now offer their business customers full-fledged Teams telephony with a mobile number – without Teams Phone System licenses, without Operator Connect costs, and without technical headaches.
The benefits are significant. End users call directly from MS Teams using their existing mobile number, search for contacts in the TeamsForMobile address book, make outbound calls from MS Teams, and manage their entire call history and voicemails in one familiar interface. For MVNOs and Service Providers, this represents a powerful differentiator: They retain full control over functionality and customer ownership. The service is offered under their own brand and proposition, via their own (Hosted) PBX infrastructure, without technical or commercial dependency on third parties. This not only delivers significant cost savings to customers but also guarantees full autonomy in service delivery, ease of use, and accessibility.
The technical implementation is surprisingly simple. Because TeamsForMobile works via the Public Mobility API as an add-on to the mobile subscription, no firewall adjustments or network configurations are required. Mobile traffic runs through the MVNO’s existing trunks and PBX systems. Implementation can be achieved within a single day, and the solution is fully supported by Microsoft and scalable. <<<<< fits perfectly within the Microsoft Teams model.
For Service Providers and MVNOs, TeamsForMobile offers a unique opportunity to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. Customers get a modern, user-friendly solution that increases productivity by eliminating context-switching. At the same time, providers remain in control of their service delivery and infrastructure – a win-win for all parties.
