Abstract
A method for playing a sequence of advertisements as a waiting message of at least one private automatic branch exchange ('PABX') is disclosed. A template sequence message may be created at the advertisement management server. The template sequence message may comprise a plurality of successive slots, each slot being able to receive an advertisement. The template sequence message and the advertisements may be sent to the PABX. For each incoming call received by the PABX and placed on hold by the PABX, the advertisements may be organized in a random order so as to allocate to each advertisement a rank, the successive advertisements may be inserted respectively in the successive slots of the template sequence message according to rank, and the completed template sequence message in which the advertisements have been inserted may be played by an audio player software of the PABX while the incoming call is on hold.
