*This does not include phones purchased off the shelf at office supply stores such as Staples and Officemax. For the most part, these phones do not have the Message on Hold capability built-in. Add-ons are available for some models but their functionality can be problematic or inconvenient for the user. The best course of action is to upgrade to either a basic key phone system or one of the new virtual phone systems, for which Holdcom is a key audio production supplier. Contact Us for more information.
On-Hold Messaging has proven benefits when it comes to phone call retention rates and in helping to upsell new products and services. Fewer Hangups Giving your callers something informative or entertaining to listen to keeps them on the line and avoids the dreaded hangs ups - which may result in the loss of a sale.

2. YOU HAVE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE. The time that your callers spend on hold is time when they are a captive audience. Providing messaging when callers are on hold helps occupy and entertain them to some degree; and most importantly, your business can make the most of that captive customer time.
We needed a new 18 line telephone system for our purpose built factory. Birmingham Telecom were extremely helpful, knowledgable, and good value. The installation and training went smoothly and we are very happy with the Panasonic system we purchased - it has worked without any problems since the day it was installed and we have been able to fine tune the configuration to make it work just as we want. If your looking for a provider, I thoroughly recommend Birmingham Telecom
Message on Hold starts with a great script. A basic script consultation is included with every order. One of our script consultants will review your script and verify pronunciations of any special terminology, as well as provide suggested verbiage improvements, if necessary. For custom script orders, your consultant will take your ideas and source materials and transform them into customized scripting that will engage your callers. Our experienced staff will work with you to create, revise, and finalize your audio script so that it’s ready for studio production. We’ve helped businesses of all sizes, and within various industries, ensure their scripting will keep their callers informed and engaged.

It's the only song Alex Cornell has ever written. Cornell was one of the co-founders of UberConference, and in addition to being a designer, is a singer and guitar player who had always found songwriting frustrating. "Then I just came to it one day," he says. "I just wanted to write a pleasant melody designed to be heard over the phone." With encouragement from Walker, Cornell started messing around with the lyrics. He wrote and recorded it in one night, in 2012, as a voice note on his phone — and thus, this self-aware hold song was born, and lives on, seven years later.

The word “Ringback” is perhaps unfairly associated with a niche market of cell phone users. A ringback tone is a signaling tone that the caller hears while the phone is ringing. In America, the tradition has been to have a two second tone with a four second pause, mirroring the two second ring and four second pauses on the other end.
2) An experienced and reputable on-hold messaging provider uses a royalty-free music, or they should offer licensing as part of the price.

Had an urgent recording request and Sophie at Messages on Hold was onto it for me straight away. On this occasion, she was able to make my ridiculous next day timeline request and I'm very happy with the results of the 7 recordings! Great customer service the whole way through. Highly recommend. 7 months ago
The intro greeting should be a reassurance that the caller has reached the correct organization along with general information about the company, and information that you want the caller to have on hand. Good information to provide at this point might include organizational slogans, years in business and general product information.
