Accountancy giant PwC is doing away with landlines at office desks, with all staff expected to only use mobiles by the end of the summer.
The company, which has 24 offices in the UK employing about 18,000 staff, said the switch to mobiles would be "more efficient".
A few landlines will remain for security to use, and in rooms used for client meetings and at reception.
Meeting rooms will use new conferencing technology that can connect to mobiles.
"We already equip all of our people with a mobile phone, and many had already moved away from using their landlines," a spokesman for PwC said.
"With landline usage falling rapidly, we believe that a more mobile-focused policy is a more efficient way of working."
