I agree with you. The music phone service provider use is never the best! Like you, when I switch to my calendar on iPhone and ask my caller to wait while I do that, it would be great to have one of my iPod tracks play to him until I pressed the green bar again to return to the call. Surely one could set that up independently of the phone service provider: just a matter of substituting my music choice for my voice until I clicked back off hold??

In order to get started with custom on hold messages, you will need to determine your phones MOH (Messages On Hold) capability. If you’re using a traditional pbx business phone system, you’ll need an on hold media unit to play the audio. If you’re using an ipbx or hosted voip set-up then all you need to do is upload the audio file as no media device is required. And, if your a small/home office business using a traditional off-the-shelf 2-4 line telephone then you’ll need the media device and an on hold module adaptor in order to make your standard analog phones on hold message compatible.

No one calls customer support to chit chat. They call because they have a problem and are likely irritated enough to get on the phone and ask about it. Odds are they’re not alone, so there’s a bit of a wait before your team can answer. If you were answering support calls, what would you want your frustrated customer listening to in the moments before you pick up?

"I selected Binkelman's [On Hold Marketing] because of the unexpected comedy, quirkiness and edge! You actually want to wait on hold and hear what is said next. The script's humor is dry and sharp. The [music] and voices are catchy. I think it's very funny and creative. It paints Binkelman's personality as being comedic, but humble. I also like to see creative pushing boundaries and not too afraid to be a little on edge." - Shaun Culbertson / American Advertising Federation Judge
