Hybrid work is here to stay.
According to Statista, 53% of US workers are in hybrid roles. Across Europe, about half of eligible workers are working remotely at least part-time. Even as some companies push for full-time office returns, the shift to flexible work models has already happened.
But here’s the problem: many companies are still maintaining desk phones that no one’s using. That’s an inefficient and expensive overhead cost.
The reality is simple: legacy desk phones are outdated and tied to a fixed location. In fact the newest generation in the workforce finds these devices unnecessary and hard to use. For a workforce that’s often away from their desks or on the move between office and remote locations, they want the immediacy and flexibility that mobile phones bring, together with the ability to use the native phone dialer to make and receive business calls.
Why keep paying for hardware that limits productivity?
Today’s mobile devices—thanks to eSIM technology—can fully replace the traditional desk phone. With the right setup, you can reduce costs by removing redundant desk phones and improve communications flexibility and remote worker engagement at the same time.
Tango Extend makes it easy.
Tango Extend turns any smartphone into a full-featured business phone, using an embedded eSIM and integration into any mobile Unified Communications platform.
Existing business numbers previously allocated to desk phones can be re-allocated to the business eSIMs on personal devices. They use the phone’s native dialer, and personal communications stay completely private. No apps or workarounds are required to make business calls – and all calls are routed through the UC platform – putting the business, not the mobile operator in control of mobile communications.
That means:
- Fewer desk phones to buy, maintain, or replace
- No complex phone setups for hybrid workers
- No separate devices or apps for users to juggle
- Internally managed fixed and mobile communications
Instead, workers get all the key business calling features—hold, conference and company voicemail—directly on their mobile.
Business calls show the company caller ID and can be recorded for compliance if needed and business contacts can be set to automatically use the business eSIM.
Tango Extend integrates directly with cloud communications platforms like Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex, giving IT teams centralized control and visibility, even for mobile calls made outside the office.
And the cost benefits go beyond hardware.
Extend includes business calls across North America and 30+ European countries in one flat plan, helping you eliminate roaming charges and surprise bills for business travelers. It’s one global solution, with predictable pricing.
