## Bell Launches Microsoft Teams Phone Mobile: Revolutionizing Canadian Business Communication
Bell Canada is dramatically reshaping the landscape of business communication in Canada with the launch of its new Microsoft Teams Phone Mobile service. This innovative solution seamlessly integrates mobile numbers directly into Microsoft Teams, creating a unified and highly efficient communication platform for businesses of all sizes. Built upon Bell’s robust and reliable 5G network – Canada’s fastest, according to Global Wireless Solutions OneScore (April 12, 2023 – October 27, 2023) – and leveraging one of the country’s largest SIP Trunking networks, Teams Phone Mobile empowers a flexible and secure future of work.
Seamless Communication, Enhanced Productivity:
Teams Phone Mobile offers a truly unified communication experience. Users can effortlessly make and receive business calls using either their mobile device’s native dialer or the Teams app, all with a single mobile number. This simplicity extends to access to all core Teams features regardless of the device used – mobile, laptop, desktop, or tablet. Imagine the convenience of accessing call transfer, voicemail, unified call logs, missed call notifications, and even call recording from anywhere, anytime.
Streamlined Management for IT Administrators:
The benefits extend beyond the individual user. IT administrators will appreciate the streamlined management capabilities. Teams Phone Mobile allows for centralized management of both mobile and fixed-line Teams Phone users within the familiar Microsoft 365 Admin Portal. This simplifies user provisioning, modifications, and changes, saving valuable time and resources.
AI-Powered Enhancements with Microsoft 365 Copilot:
Bell is taking this innovation a step further by integrating cutting-edge AI capabilities. Microsoft 365 Copilot, available as an add-on, brings powerful AI features directly into the Teams Phone Mobile experience. This includes the incredibly useful function of live call summarization, offering significant productivity gains.
A Comprehensive Suite of Solutions:
Teams Phone Mobile is only one component of Bell’s broader commitment to providing comprehensive Microsoft Modern Workplace solutions. Bell offers a wide range of services, including Operator Connect, Direct Routing as a Service, and Direct Routing, catering to diverse business needs and work styles, from fully remote to exclusively mobile workforces.

Furthermore, Bell actively assists businesses in optimizing their use of Microsoft 365 Copilot and guides them through cloud migration, providing secure access to current solutions while setting the stage for future innovations.
