In short: BT business mobile is EE Business, the mobile service of BT Group. It covers SIM only plans, phones, tablets, mobile broadband and IoT connections, with plans grouped by company size. Because Hybrid Backup also runs on the EE Business 4G network, one supplier can look after your mobiles and your fixed line together.
Why BT business mobile means EE Business
BT Group runs one mobile network. For business customers, the mobile range is sold as EE Business, so when you buy business mobiles from BT you get EE Business SIMs and devices on the EE Business network.
As a BT Business Partner, Forever Communications Ltd can supply EE Business mobiles alongside your BT Business Broadband, BTnet and voice services, so you have one point of contact for all of them.
This page is a short overview. Our sister company, Forever Group, covers the EE Business range in more depth, including contracts, upgrades and corporate plans, and we link to those guides below. If you also need fixed connectivity, start with BT Business Broadband or, for larger sites, BT leased lines.
What you can get
- SIM only plans for staff who keep their own handsets, or when you buy phones outright.
- Phones on business contracts, with the main smartphone brands.
- Tablets for field staff, retail floors and clinical or care settings.
- Mobile broadband for temporary sites, vehicles, events and remote workers.
- IoT connections for devices such as card terminals, telematics, alarms and sensors.
For plan detail and current offers, see our sister company's guides to EE Business SIM only and EE Business deals. We don't publish prices here: ask us for a quote.
Plans grouped by company size
| Company size | Typical needs | More detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 10 employees | A few SIMs or handsets, simple billing, mobile broadband for the odd remote worker | EE Business for small businesses |
| 11 to 249 employees | Pooled data, device management, a mix of SIM only and handsets | EE Business |
| 250+ employees | Large fleets, account management, IoT and corporate terms | EE Business for large businesses |
The bands are a guide rather than a rule. A ten-person firm with lots of field staff may need the same data pooling and device controls as a much larger company, while a big organisation may only need a handful of SIMs for one department. We'll look at how your people actually use their phones before recommending a plan.
Smaller firms looking at broadband and mobiles together should also read BT broadband and phones for small businesses.
Mobile and broadband working together
Mobile is not just for phones. BT's Hybrid Backup, available with the Enhanced and Pro broadband packages where there is 4G coverage, switches your office onto the EE Business 4G network automatically if the fixed line fails, and BT Business Ultra has its own 4G backup. Read more in BT Business 4G backup.
On the voice side, BT's BT One Phone service closed in 2026. If you used it, EE Business mobiles paired with a cloud phone system are one of the main replacements: see BT One Phone replacement options and BT Cloud Voice. Shops and chains can use EE Business SIMs to keep card machines and staff devices online, as covered on our retail broadband page.

Contact usFrequently asked questions
Does BT do business mobile?
Yes. BT Group's business mobile service is EE Business. Business mobiles bought through BT are EE Business SIMs and devices on the EE Business network.
Is EE Business the same as BT Business?
They are both part of BT Group. BT Business covers fixed services such as broadband, leased lines and phone lines, while EE Business is the group's business mobile brand. A BT Business Partner can supply both.
Can I get BT broadband and EE Business mobiles from one supplier?
Yes. Forever Communications Ltd is a BT Business Partner and can supply BT Business broadband, leased lines and voice alongside EE Business mobiles, with one point of contact for orders, faults and renewals.
What size of business are EE Business plans for?
EE Business groups its business plans into three bands: 1 to 10 employees, 11 to 249 employees and 250 or more employees. The bands are a starting point; the right plan depends on how many SIMs, handsets and data your team actually needs, so ask us for a quote based on your usage.
Can I keep my mobile numbers if I move to EE Business?
Yes. UK mobile numbers can be transferred between networks using a PAC code. We'll plan the transfer so your team keeps working while the numbers move.
