What is Phone Call Hold Music?
On-hold music for business involves playing recorded music to fill the silence that telephone callers would normally hear when placed on hold. The Vonage Business Communications hold music feature shows your callers that you have your customers’ best interests at heart.
With the right hold music, your business can improve customer experience, establish a stronger identity, and let callers know that their call is still active.
The Vonage Business Communications platform comes with royalty-free hold music options for businesses and lets you change or customize your hold music at any time.

With Vonage Business Communications, you can set your on-hold music through the VBC Admin Portal.
Every VBC account includes four free hold music options, creating a pleasant on-hold experience without added licensing fees. Alternatively, you can upload your own music files or recordings through the VBC Admin Portal.
The VBC Admin Portal allows you to set or change your hold music at any time, giving you total control over the on-hold experience for your business.
