Mobile rang in the middle of the speech which does infuriate (6)

I believe the answer is:

enrage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'infuriate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mobile rang in the middle of the speech' is the wordplay.
'mobile' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the middle of' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'speech' is 'ee'.
'rang' with letters rearranged gives 'nrag'.
'nrag' going into 'ee' is 'ENRAGE'.

'which does' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
