An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Selective Insurance phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling).

When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
