In today's fast-paced world, the importance of on-hold messaging cannot be overstated. Whether you're managing customer support or marketing through your phone system, the way you communicate while customers are on hold can make a significant impact on your brand. But when it comes to choosing the right voice for your on-hold messages, Message On Hold, and call queue, businesses face a crucial decision: Should you opt for advanced AI-generated voices or invest in professional voice talents? Let’s explore the benefits of both options to help you decide which is best for your business.

An on-hold message is played during key moments when a caller is waiting to speak with someone from your company. This includes times when they are in a queue, have already spoken with a representative and are placed on hold, or are in the process of being transferred. These moments offer a strategic opportunity to use messages and music that significantly enhance the caller’s experience and shape their perception of your business.

We're excited to unveil our completely redesigned music player, packed with enhanced features and a fresh selection of music tracks to keep your phone system sounding vibrant and engaging for callers.
