Put Your Calls On Hold

Sign Up NowThe Call On Hold feature is an essential part of the telecommunication process. In the event you are on a call but find you need to place the caller on hold, a simple touch of the number sign button on your phone will place the call on hold and provide the caller with your choice of background music for the duration of their hold time.

With the Call On Hold feature, you get:

  • The ability to place callers on hold to answer other calls, obtain more information, or address necessary interruptions.
  • The convenience of keeping the caller on the line to check account information or verify data with management.

During phone conversations, many situations arise that need your attention. Instead of disconnecting entirely with the caller, you can easily place them on hold with one touch of a button. The caller will hear your selection of hold music.

Calls are often put on hold for other reasons. For instance, customers who call in to check account information may need to be placed on hold so customer service representatives have time to pull up appropriate account information. There are other occasions where a caller can be placed on hold so company representatives can speak to other staff members without having to divulge information to callers. Call retrieval is just as easy and calls can be resumed in a timely manner.

Toll free phone numbers, also referred to as "800 numbers", are special telephone numbers that the person being called pays for the cost of the call. Even if the caller is calling from outside the local calling area, the person receiving the call will pay for all calls made to the toll free number. The amount of money the toll free phone number owner pays depends on where the toll free number was obtained, and how much use the toll free number receives.


The majority of toll free number services work like this: the caller dials the toll free number. The phone call is forwarded to a phone number of the owner of the toll free number's choice, and then the owner pays for the call.


Toll free numbers may start with 800, 888, 877, or 866 - with future growth to include toll free number prefixes of 855, 844, 833 and 822.
