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!
On-hold music is considered standard in business phone systems today because people actually perceived wait times as shorter when they hear it. On-hold music traditionally worked by having specialized equipment attached to the phone, and the jack might plug into the radio, then tapes, then CDs, then MP3 players. PRI boards are built with jacks to play on-hold music.

Most business-class phone systems come with a library of pre-recorded on-hold messages or music for you to choose from. They also typically allow you to upload your own, giving you the opportunity to customize your callers’ experience while they wait.
Call hold/call wait is a network feature (while it is activated by the handset) as such any music would be supplied by your carrier, there should be some there but chances are it's some wonderfull elevator style stuff (I'm partial to Brahms myself 😉 ).
