Odido launched Teams Phone Mobile with Microsoft in the Netherlands, and Odido says it is the first provider in the country to offer the service. The product is built to fold mobile numbers into Microsoft Teams so companies and employees can communicate through one business mobile number.

The company planned to launch Teams Phone Mobile on Thursday, October 3, and the article says the Netherlands is the tenth country for Microsoft to use the service, with Odido the sixth operator to adopt it.
