The first ringback tones were created in Finland in 1998, when the Finnish mobile operator Radiolinja began offering the service of hearing customized monophonic ringtones and ringback tones that were sent over the air.

Don't you wish your customers a happy holiday in person? With you as the customer, don't your Vendors wish you a happy holiday? WELL, don't overlook the time your clients are on hold. Let them know you care enough to say "Happy Holidays, Happy Halloween, Happy Mother's Day," and on and on.

For someone to call a company and get put on hold, it is almost an impossible situation. While it may not be a very pleasant step, it is necessary for businesses to handle a large number of calls.
