Included on all plans

Every second a caller spends on hold is either dead air, a repeating beep, or a chance to sound like a real business. fvoip includes music on hold on every plan, with a library of pre-licensed tracks, so you're covered without worrying about playing the radio into the phone line — something commercial music licensing actually prohibits.

The more valuable option is custom audio. Upload your own recordings — or mix music with announcements — and the hold queue becomes useful: "Our service department is open Saturdays until 2," "Ask about our maintenance plan," "For billing questions, have your account number ready." Offices that record even three or four short messages consistently report fewer repeated questions when the call connects.

Audio is managed per line or per queue from the admin portal. A dental front desk can play appointment-prep reminders while the billing queue plays payment-portal instructions. Change the file any time — holiday hours in December, storm closures in hurricane season — and it takes effect immediately, on every location, without touching a phone.

Frequently asked questions

Can I just play the radio or Spotify on hold?
Legally, no — playing commercial music to callers requires a public-performance license, and consumer streaming accounts don't include one. fvoip's included library is pre-licensed for hold use, and your own recorded announcements are always safe.
Can someone record professional announcements for us?
You can upload audio from any voice-over service, or record it yourself — a quiet room and a phone make an acceptable announcement. Many customers use a professional voice for the main greeting and record seasonal updates in-house.
Can different departments have different hold audio?
Yes. Hold audio is assigned per queue, ring group, or line, so sales callers and billing callers can hear entirely different messages.
