Call Hold

The purpose of hold is to pause activity on one call so that the user may use the phone for another task, such as to make or receive another call. Network signaling is employed to request that the remote party stop sending media and to inform them that they are being held. A configurable local hold reminder feature can be used to remind the user that they have placed calls on hold. The call hold reminder is always played through the speakerphone.
