Music On Hold Systems

We hear on hold systems with music on hold and music and messages on hold every business day, yet most people do not know how an on hold system actually works. On Hold Systems fall into four main categories: pbx (business phone systems with a music on hold input), music on hold adapters (for standard phones without a music on hold input), cell phone music on hold, and music on hold for VOIP or IP phone systems.

While PBX phone systems make up almost all of the on hold systems in current use, IP music on hold is a rapidly growing market. And cell phone music on hold, once considered impossible, can now be implemented with the proper know-how. Finally, music on hold adapters often are the only option available to small or home businesses that use standard, corded phones. We detail all these options on their respective pages.

Each of the major on hold system categories we discuss has their own specialized requirements in terms of equipment and implementation. Hopefully our detailed pages will take some of the mystery out of how the music and messages on hold you heard daily are put into use. Still have more music on hold questions not covered on our site?
