“We celebrate small businesses every day at T-Mobile — they are
the backbone of our communities. Today, we're going even bigger for
small businesses with Microsoft 365 on Us, providing critical
Microsoft tools to help them survive and thrive in the face of new
realities,” said Mike Katz, EVP T-Mobile for Business.
“Additionally, small business owners now have a new experience when
they step into retail stores with highly trained mobile experts
ready to serve them and other small businesses in the area. These
businesses have endured such great challenges in 2020, and we want
them to know — we're with you."
Small businesses are the foundation for economies worldwide. In
fact, small-and medium-sized enterprises represent over 90% of all
businesses, between 60-70% of employment and 55% of GDP in
developed economies.1 The pandemic has hit small businesses
especially hard, and they need help now more than ever.
“T-Mobile and Microsoft have a shared commitment to helping
small businesses save time and money by providing the tools and
technology they need to succeed both now and into the future,” said
Mark Kroese, General Manager, Microsoft 365 for SMB. “With the new
offering, T-Mobile is making Microsoft 365 tools available to
T-Mobile for Business customers, and in the process helping small
business owners stay connected and productive in a new world of
remote work.”
Today’s announcement builds on T-Mobile’s tradition of
supporting small businesses and helps to ensure business owners are
equipped with the plan, devices and solutions they need to navigate
new realities. When COVID-19 hit, T-Mobile quickly sprang into
action to offer up to 90 days free service to new customers who
switch their employees to T-Mobile — the offer is still available
today. And, the Un-carrier launched a web series — Taking Care of
Business — hosted by Mike Katz, EVP of T-Mobile for Business,
featuring SMB leaders sharing new insights and stories to navigate
these uncertain times. Now available as a podcast, “Taking Care of
Business” explores the world beyond COVID-19 and dives deep with
trailblazing business leaders to learn how they build leadership
skills, lead successful organizations and innovate within their
industries.
Plans Built for Business
T-Mobile has ranked #1 in Business Wireless customer
satisfaction from businesses of ALL sizes for the last three years
by J.D. Power. Now, the Un-carrier has reimagined business plans to
help small businesses save more time and money. The new Magenta for
Business and Magenta Plus for Business now include Microsoft 365 on
Us, making T-Mobile the first service provider to put productivity
tools in the hands of businesses for no extra charge.
And for a limited time, businesses who switch to T-Mobile can
get up to 90 days of free wireless service — making the switch even
easier! To sign up or for more information, visit

In addition to newly redesigned rate plans for small business,
T-Mobile is doubling down on support for SMBs. Not only can small
business owners find support and expertise in T-Mobile retail
stores nationwide, online and on the phone, but the Un-carrier has
more than doubled the number of people dedicated to advising SMBs
and increased dedicated business space in stores by 500%.
