Just watch out, some phone providers will disconnect you after a few hours on a call. During the pandemic when there were a lot of people unemployed and there were long waits for unemployment insurance offices, there were stories of people waiting on hold for 6 hours or more, and then getting disconnected, losing their place in line.

They are often also recording/transcribing the conversation when they put you on hold as well, and summarizing the call for the agent based on the transcript. When my ISP raises internet prices, I always have to call them to get the increase reversed. When I’m waiting on hold, i pretend to talk to my partner saying what my desired price is and that i’ll call a competitor afterwards if they can’t match so that gets summarized for the agent.
