AT&T has offered music while the phone is ringing to the calling party (music plays instead of ring...ring..ring), but they charge what seems to be a lot for the service and it only lasts for a year, as I recall. Lots of choices of music, though. No idea about call holding, try calling AT&T. Apr 14, 2009 3:40 PM Apr 14, 2009 4:53 PM in response to PsychedelicWonders In response to PsychedelicWonders

Although most clients select just one voice talent to read their entire script, some choose two voices for a more interesting finished product. The most common choice is to have both a male and female read the script in an alternating format.
Hiring a specialized on hold messaging company can get expensive. As a more affordable alternative, you can use pre-made, ready to use on hold messages and music, like the examples we mentioned earlier.
-After an average of 1 minute and 55 seconds of hold time most callers hang up annoyed – 34% of those callers who hang up will not call back.
On Hold Message 5 - You may also wish to thank your caller every minute or so and offer additional options.
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.
A typical Message on Hold program is 4 minutes long. Because a voice over talent typically reads between 100 and 112 words per minute, the script for a four-minute program can be up to 400 words, allowing for four to six paragraphs or messages, interspersed by brief intervals of music. Longer audio storage and program lengths are available if necessary.

Small wonder, then, that its biggest "hit" does none of that. Facebook Twitter Flipboard Email Hold music has a paradoxical purpose: Keep folks on the line, but don't draw their attention.

The music in our on hold music section is pre-licensed, which means we can mix it with your on-hold messages without charging an additional music license. Also, this smaller selection of music is not in a PRO such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS etc. so you won't have to pay these agencies a fee for playing music on hold. You can use music from our library if you wish but there will be an additional license cost and not all of it is PRO free.
Learn more about our new organization at our website or follow us on Facebook for updates.
We provide a diverse selection of voice artists and licensed music offering a variety of tempos, range, and styles to reflect your unique image. Your browser does not support the audio element.
-When callers are presented with On Hold Messaging vs. silence or a radio commercial they will stay on hold longer, they are more likely to exhibit interest in the product advertised, they are more likely to retain information, and they are less agitated.
Before you start, check with your IT support team or phone system vendor to see if there are any special requirements you need to be aware of. Things like: How long can the recording be? What type of audio file does it need to be? Is there a maximum file size?

On hold messages can be recorded for many purposes, such as promoting your business, answering FAQs or announcing important customer service information. It's important to be clear in the message you are trying to get across. Confusion leads to disengagement and reflects badly on the brand. Determining your callers' wait times is necessary to determine the required length of the on-hold message. Making the recording too short can lead to the message being played too many times. This can be repetitive and lose the caller's attention while they hold.
