Call Back instead of On-Hold
~James Dunn
Whether it is a cell phone, a land line, or voice over IP (internet phone), being put on hold is a major waste of time for all involved.
All telephone companies can easily provide a service to allow the called party to return your telephone call, without having to reveal their phone number (for those that want privacy), after coming back online from an On-Hold status.
How it would work:
- You call someone and for some reason information needs to be looked up
- The calling party puts you On-Hold
- You press *2w8 and the phone system hangs up your phone
- The calling party phone is still active
- When the phone company computer hears the calling party pick up the phone
- then the phone company calls you
- and the calling party is told to "wait one moment please"
- When you answer your phone you continue your conversation.
No more having to wait for long periods of time in a phone quque.
No more burning up needless cell phone minutes.
