On our discussions with the customer care team we got to know that in case the executive needs to consult a senior, they were using the Mute functionality. Because everything becomes completely silent after pressing Mute the caller may get the impression that the call has been disconnected.
The team has been informed to use another functionality to put the client on hold as that'll plays a music and caller knows the call is on hold.
However, to check whether this was the case in your case or not we'll need the details of your call.

Even though the reply is message is for Leonid, I could not help but chip in my thoughts.
Is this the explanation you have -- use of mute button ? :rofl: :rofl:
And what about the basic courtesy to inform the customer - that he is being kept on hold ?
And which industry standard says - use the mute button ? Every company takes this opportunity to play their marketing song or the very irritating lines - please hold you are in que or kindly hold on our executives are busing attending to other calls, we thank you for your patience, we will get back to you very soon.. and it goes on and on...
Any way, I have accepted that TSO customer service is not up to the mark and hence am mentally prepared if and when I deal with them.
Brgds,
