FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

WILL MY PHONE SYSTEM WORK WITH AN
ON HOLD MESSAGE?


This is the most important question to answer. Your telephone system NEEDS to have Music Input Capability in order for an On Hold Message to work. Check to see if their is a mini or RCA type jack located on the central phone system - not an individual phone. Contact the vendor where you purchased your system for more info.
