Ad On Hold gives you professionally recorded advertising message(s) for when your inbound calls are placed on hold.

Ad On Hold will consult with you to create a voice script for your recording and professionally record it for you. Once this process has been concluded the messages will be sent to your Telstra sales partner to install.

To take up Ad On Hold with Telstra Business Systems (TBS) you’ll need to take up a TBS plan.

There’s no minimum term.

Any adjustments to your recordings more than a month after the initial installation may cost you extra to re-record the message content. You may also need to pay an installation cost to re-install the message(s).

If it’s a minor change the new recording will cost $544.50 including GST. A minor change means changing up to one sentence of any part of the message. Typically these include things like a changed address, a service or a product, or web address.

For a whole new Ad On Hold message and extra message editing, the fee is $1,089 including GST.

You can choose to upload exactly the same on hold and message recordings at multiple sites but you’ll need to pay 25% of the original package price for each additional site. If there is any difference in the content, you’ll need to take up extra packages.

You can play multiple Ad On Hold message packages at one site, subject to your TBS phone system capabilities. You’ll need to purchase a separate Ad On Hold package for each message stream required.

If you purchase your Ad On Hold package outright, you can cancel your Ad On Hold package at any time. No Early Termination Charge applies. Please note that any applicable early termination charges for your TBS plan will apply.

If you’ve taken up a TBS repayment option and you cancel your package early, you will need to pay us a TBS Repayment Option Early Termination Charge (ETC). The ETC decreases by equal instalments each month you stay on the plan, and is calculated in accordance with your equipment repayment terms as per our Terms and Conditions.

If the nbn network comes to your area and you wish to transfer to the nbn network with Telstra, we’ll take responsibility for managing your transfer to this new network. To do this, we’ll need your agreement and help to access your premises, and we’ll talk with you about installation requirements. We’ll work with you to make this as simple as possible. If you are moving your service(s) to Telstra then you should not request your legacy service(s) to be disconnected from your current provider until you have assurred yourself that your nbn service is operational.

If you don’t want to transfer to the nbn network, we’ll continue to provide your service up until we’re required to disconnect it as part of the migration to the nbn network. At this time we will cancel your services and no ETC will be charged. We’ll let you know the details before any changes happen.

If you have questions about your bill, technical support service or connection, please call us on 13 2000 or 133 677 (TTY).
