All stars5 star only4 star only3 star only2 star only1 star onlyAll positiveAll criticalAll stars 4 global ratings | 3 global reviews For 25 years, I've wanted a professional on hold system and I finally have one!. The price is perfect, there are a lot of choices of music I can choose for my patient's and customers to listen to if it is necessary I put them on hold, and it was easy to set up. Their customer service is superb! I would definitely recommend this product!!! Does not work (phone rings and then hangs up on caller). When returned was sent messages from seller that it can be programmed to work, which makes a confusing install with confusing instruction even worse. Also, upon returning product I forgot to include institutions (5 pages of 8x11 paper) and was changed a $75 restocking fee. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product. Questions?

More On Hold Message Samples. Our custom on hold messages with music will work with all phone systems including PBX, Voip, Hosted or Cloud phones. If you have “non-system”, cordless, single or two line telephones you will need to purchase an on hold adapter.
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??

Hold music gained mainstream popularity in the early aughts. As cell phone customization became more of a focus, ringback tones gained popularity. People carefully chose the song to play in lieu of ringtones for incoming calls. It was a chance to control the call experience and showcase your personality before you even said hello. By the time the first US national carrier offered ringback tones in 2004, it was a multibillion-dollar industry. Hold music keeps your callers distracted from the wait. Why Use Hold Music at All?

Includes generic packages and free on hold music Custom Audio Production for Telecommunications, Multimedia, and Internet Applications
The effectiveness of the first three above-mentioned elements are often neutralized by a poor understanding of the broadcast carrier of the On Hold message and how it affects the recording process. For more information on this topic, click here.
No one likes waiting around on an endlessly ringing phone line for someone to pick up the telephone and get them the information they’re looking for. That’s why having an on hold message or friendly musical greeting can be a game-changer in the world of client communication.
Having an on hold message or on hold recordings for your business makes all the difference. Recent research shows that promoting your business’ services, or educating your customers through an on hold message not only improves the customer experience – but increases the likelihood of a prospect becoming a customer. We’ve been helping businesses for years to improve their telephonic marketing through well crafted on hold messages.
A study by Infomax inc found that callers tend to stay online for 25% longer if there is a mix of on hold messaging and not just plain music. So you need to mix it up.

The waiting queue allows the caller to wait on the line and should not be longer than 5 minutes. The queue announcement may also be introduced after a "Welcome Message”. The waiting announcement is then cut immediately after the end of the "Welcome Message". The pauses between the announcement blocks in the queue should be about 30 - 60 seconds. With us, you can choose the desired durations. Here, you can get the right background music for your queue.
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.
Ultimately, the new Easy On Hold feature will allow businesses to connect more effectively with its customers. These new additions will enhance our already exceptional on-hold experience, and we look forward to future collaborations with Easy On Hold.
