Identifying the PBX Used

thanksajdotcom

So I was curious if anyone else is like me and identifies the type of PBX used by a company by the hold music they use. Certain tunes are built into certain systems, like FreePBX/Elastix, Avaya, Cisco, etc. Called a small ISP local to Baton Rouge, LA today and I'm dead certain they have a FreePBX/Elastix based system. Same hold music I used to hear at NTG.

Am I the only one who notices stuff like this, or am I not the only crazy one? Lol

Thanks,
A.J.

You are crazy, but I notice stuff like this too Maybe I am crazy too? o_0

We always bought hold music packages. Most places I've called either use music packages or have custom advertising hold music.

We use some creative commons music, we are going to work on advertising for our MOH stuff soon.

Either way, I don't generally listen to that, it is the voice prompts that I listen to. I know if it is an asterisk box from how the voicemail is generally presented.

I can't say I try to identify the PBX, but I will do something similar to place voice over names to the person on television commercials.

Can't remember the last time that I was on hold.
