If you set queues to the incoming call rule, customers can listen to music or announcements until the next user is available while the call is on hold.

Since MiiTel Phone Mobile is an app that is supported by Apple and Google, you may experience some delays in the service due to the network environment or other reasons. Therefore, please note that there is no guarantee that you will receive 100% of the phone calls.
