Call hold

Call hold is a feature of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems that allows a user to put an incoming call on hold while they attend to other tasks. The call on hold feature is commonly used in PBX (Private Branch Exchange) systems, which are telephone systems used by businesses to handle multiple incoming and outgoing calls.

There are several advantages and benefits to using the call hold feature in a VoIP system:

Improved efficiency: Call hold allows users to put an incoming call on hold while they attend to other tasks or take other calls, which can help them manage their time more efficiently and reduce the number of missed calls.

Multitasking: The call hold feature enables users to multitask and handle multiple calls simultaneously, which can be especially useful in a busy office environment.

Reduced missed calls: By being able to put an incoming call on hold, users can avoid missing calls while they are busy with other tasks.

Call transfer: Call hold can also transfer calls to other extensions within the same PBX system, allowing users to collaborate and share calls with their colleagues.

Improved customer service: The call hold feature can help improve customer service by enabling users to handle calls more efficiently and reduce the number of missed calls.

Increased productivity: By allowing users to manage their calls more efficiently and reduce the number of missed calls, the call hold feature can help increase productivity and reduce frustration.
