The idea of creating a custom on-hold message may sound daunting, but advancements in technology have made it a lot easier in the last few years.
Having placed an order for a new phone online through Birmingham Telecom, Brian not only called to check that my phone was compatible but offered advice which fixed the problem and then a refund when it was discovered the phone was no longer required.Exceptional service from Birmingham Telecom. I will definitely recommend them to anyone needing telecoms support for their business.Thank you!

Hey there trendsetter! You could be the first review for Custom On-Hold Messages.
For those still using analogue or digital phone systems, voice on ISDN circuits has a bandwidth of around 4000Hz. The audio from an analogue phone is sampled at 8000Hz, and because of the nyquist theorem, must be low-pass filtered to 4000Hz. So any frequencies in the audio beyond 4000Hz are lost. Interestingly, the human ear and mind are good at recognising human speech, so this is considered "toll-quality" voice, i.e. good enough to pay for. This is the reason why certain vocalised letters are difficult or impossible to tell apart on the phone. For example, the differences between B, P, T, C, etc. are almost entirely above 4000Hz.
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.
Listen to samples from our talent and choose the voice that appeals more to your brand. In addition to on hold messages our voice talent can also record voicemail greetings, radio commercials, video presentations and more.
Slow your roll—there’s a lot more to hold music than just genre. A phone line isn’t a state of the art speaker system; its primary function is to make sure the call is connected. Volume changes, frequency, and distortion are all elements to consider when choosing hold music.
(If you can't hear any difference between these two samples, then there's a good chance your speakers are reducing CD quality music to phone quality for you!)

The app today is launching “Skip Waiting On Hold.” Just type in the company you need to talk to, and DoNotPay calls for you using tricks to get a human on the line quickly. Then it calls you back and connects you to the agent so you never have to listen to that annoying hold music.
I haven't used this device for an extended period, but since there are no mechanical parts, I expect that it will last. We have been using a professional on hold service for many years at about $60/month. The box that the professional company gave us sounded great when customers would call from a Lan Line. But, when calling from cell phone the voice messages were lower volume and the music would sound horrible. Music keeps cutting in and out and sounds very staticky. So we decided to save some $ and cancel our subscription and buy this unit. We are using the default music and voice messages that came preloaded instead of doing our own music and messages.
