Hold music

Just something I'm curious about:
The music my conversation partner hears when (s)he is put on hold on my iPhone (by pressing and holding the mute button for a few seconds), is this provided by my iPhone, or by my operator?

The logical follow-up question would be "can I change it?", but I can guess the answer to that one... 🙂

MacBook Pro 13" 2.26GHz (June 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPhone 4, Time Capsule 500GB, Airport Express, iPod shuffle 512MB, iPod nano 8GB

I'm fairly certain this is not provided by the iPhone and I haven't heard of a carrier that provides this. I've seen a number of posts here asking if it is possible to play music in the first place while the iPhone is put on hold. The iPhone does not include an option to do so.

I guess I'm lucky then, because my provider (BASE in Belgium) apparently does provide hold music.
Strange, because it's quite good, and of a much better quality than the music you hear when calling their customer service... 🙂

Thank you both for the swift reply!
