THE PROBLEM...This unit has the same issue as the box we were using from the professional company. Sounds great when callers using lan line but horrible when customers calling from cell phones. Even with the the volume knob turned to maximum.

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.
When callers are put on hold, music is played over the phone while they are waiting. You can upload your own music file to play, or several music files to rotate. If you do not upload your own files, callers will hear the music that is set by default.
However, if there is no other option but to place your customers on hold (perhaps during a busy season), you need to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
All our lines are busy at the moment, please hold and you will be connected to an operator as soon as possible.
So what can we do to avoid inflicting further musical misery on our own customers while they’re patiently sitting on hold? We could just go back to playing a ringing sound, or an intermittent beep just to let people know they’re still connected, but that would be awfully dull. The best compromise is relatively simple electronic music that doesn't have too much going on as the ideal choice for hold music as it requires far less refined sound quality to get a decent rendition down a telephone connection.
It’s very important to thank your customers for waiting. Being on hold is not a desirable experience for anyone. The least you can do it thank your clients for their time and to help them not feel neglected.
If you need to use menu options for directing calls, try to keep these as short as possible, for example... “Thank you for calling Media Music Now. So that we can connect you to the most appropriate department, please choose from the following options: press 1 for general enquiries, press 2 for help with downloads and 3 for any other enquiries.

When you begin to consider what callers on hold should hear while they wait, be sure to focus on your callers and their needs. Think about: Why are they calling? What would keep them interested and even inspired? Remember, on hold messages shouldn’t be a hard sell, but rather a soft sell or conversation with people who have reached out to you, and are in an excellent position to make buying decisions based on what they hear while on hold.

How to Format Your On Hold Script. For an average IVR phone system where customers are on hold for 1-3 minutes, it’s wise to have at least two courtesy messages and two marketing messages, with each message timing out to precisely 30 seconds (:30). Hold music should play in between the messages for 30 seconds (:30).
