Streaming Radio Stations from EMAK Telecom Phones
EMAK Telecom phones can stream curated radio stations directly through the handset speaker. The streams are great for background music in retail, salons, restaurants, or any office that wants ambient music on demand. Simply dial one of the star codes below from any EMAK Telecom phone.
Available Radio Stations
Each station has a numeric star code and, where available, a mnemonic version that spells out the genre on the dial pad.
| Station | Star Code | Mnemonic |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | *2527 | *CLAS |
| R & B | *9667 | — |
| Pop | *767 | *POP |

We add new channels from time to time. If there is a genre you would like us to consider, send your suggestion to [email protected].
How to Stream a Station
- Pick up the handset on any EMAK Telecom phone, or use a softphone signed in to an EMAK extension.
- Dial the star code for the station you want.
- The phone will connect to the stream — hang up to stop the audio.
If you want to play the stream over an in-store audio system, simply connect a phone’s headset jack or speakerphone output to your existing music system.
Streaming Radio FAQ
Does streaming radio cost extra?
No. Streaming the EMAK Telecom radio stations from your phone is included as part of your service. The stations use the same call infrastructure as a regular call to an extension.
Do these stations affect my voicemail or call forwarding?
No. Streaming a radio station is a regular outbound call from the phone, so it occupies the line while it is playing. Incoming calls will follow whatever no-answer or busy rules are configured on your extension. Hang up the radio call when you are expecting an inbound call.
Can I use this as music on hold?
The streaming radio stations are designed for direct playback on a handset, not for music on hold. For music on hold, see our music on hold samples, where you can pick from licensed samples or upload your own.
Can EMAK add a new genre?
We add channels based on customer demand. Email [email protected] with the genre or station you would like to see, and we will let you know if we can add it.
