In 1962, inventor and entrepreneur Alfred Levy found a loose wire touching a metal girder at his factory. It amplified the broadcast signal from the radio station next door and transmitted the audio through the loose wire to calls on hold. Four years later he patented his work, and music on hold was born.
Great service on advice on order, speed of delivery, and communication for refund - but charge a 20% restocking fee which I felt was a bit stiff considering the wireless headphones have more wires than the wired ones! 5star otherwise.

If you think about, the cost of “NOT HAVING” on hold messages is far greater than any investment you may make in custom on hold messages. Why? A lost call equals a lost sale and a lost customer. Two things no business owner wants to hear. And to make matters worse, you also have to consider the wasted advertising spend you invested in order to generate that call. It’s estimated that caller abandonment (caller hangups) cost businesses billions of dollars each year.
Delighted with this Company - readily available to deal with any queries, efficient and prompt. Glad we made the change to them. Highly recommend.
