BT and EE have signed an agreement to proceed, on an exclusive basis, to a contract for EE to provide mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) services to BT’s customers and employees. 

The multi-year agreement, subject to final contract, further strengthens the existing relationship in telecommunications between BT and EE. 

BT, which has around 88,000 employees worldwide, decided to seek a new mobile partnership earlier this year. 

BT currently provides a range of mobile services, primarily to large corporates, the public sector and small and medium-sized enterprises. For consumers, it has a strong wi-fi presence that it plans to build on. 

BT will carefully manage the change from the current MVNO to EE to ensure a seamless transition for customers.
