Caller Ring Tunes and Custom Hold Music

With your feature-rich C-talk phone service, you can have your own music or message play while customers ring you (Caller Tunes), and also when they are on hold or being transferred.

This could be used as a powerful marketing tool, to deliver important messages to your customers while they are ringing in, and when on hold.  You can also use normal music, to make the callers experience more pleasant.

To use this feature, you will need to prepare the music or marketing message files before-hand.  The files must be in .mp3 format.  Once prepared, use the steps below to activate it on your C-talk line.
