If you purchased your phones at an office supply store, you&#8217;ll have a hard time finding where to plug in the <em>music on hold<\/em>. These ordinary 2 and 4 line phones are made without the brains to tell music to start and stop when a caller is holding. We can, however, trick the phone into acting like a big office system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy On Hold<\/strong> offers a line of music on hold adapters made by Skutch Electronics. These devices &#8220;listen&#8221; for the small voltage shift that takes place when the <em>hold button<\/em> is pressed. This triggers the music on and off at the appropriate times.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.easyonhold.com\/article-categories\/integrations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tips For Adding Music On Hold to Your Small Office Phones<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>All phones must be the same make and model. Because each phone on the market is different, there is a unique on-hold adapter for each.<\/li>\n<li>One Skutch device is all you need to activate <em>hold music<\/em> all of the phones in your office.<\/li>\n<li>The adapters do not generate <em>music on hold<\/em>&#8211;they activate it.You still need a professional music on hold player.<\/li>\n<li>While the cost of these on hold adapters can run up to $300, they work with your\u00a0 less-expensive phones, and your office will sound as though you&#8217;ve got a big, expensive telecom system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a way to do it!
