My first thought was "wow, those assholes."

But my second thought was... how did they make their PBX do that? Is this actually a feature that PBX vendors ship?

Many call centers have these privacy messages that play before you're actually put on hold. Just use the same feature with a 15min of waiting music.
Ah, so that the music changes and/or clips when you jump into the call queue. That way, you know you just got mishandled for 15 minutes. Diabolical.
Wouldn't be surprised if they have their own internal PBX system with a SIP trunk
Sigh. VoIP makes everything less interesting.
I mean, any system has the ability to play a message before putting the call into a queue. Make the message fifteen minutes of muzak…
