ABSTRACT:
An on hold telephony service that allows a subscriber to the service to place a call on hold and make interactive games available to the party placed on hold. The on hold service can be implemented on a central office switch or an enhanced services platform connected to the switch. The on hold service is accessed by the subscriber to the service through a transfer function that causes the call to be maintained by the on hold service. The party so placed on hold by the subscriber can then interactively play the various games made available by the service. The subscriber to the service can then send a message to the other party or cause him to be reconnected to the subscriber either immediately or when the other party is finished playing games and is ready to be reconnected to the subscriber.
