Is "Please hold" grammatically correct? When you call customer services, they ask you to "please hold," as in "please hold the line." Is it grammatically correct to just say "please hold," or is it a colloquial thing? Is it better to say "please hold the line"? Thank you:)

It's just a phrase that has been cut off. Both are correct. :)

"Please hold" is fine. "Please hold the line" sounds very old-fashioned.
