There are 3 ways to add a greeting to your Voicemail

  1. Text-To-Speech – This option will allow you to type a message that will be converted to an audio file. The voice option can be selected to determine how the text-to-speech will sound. The Play Button can be used to preview the audio file. 

2. Upload – If you already have a message recorded you can select the Upload option and select the audio file saved on your computer and select upload to save it to the menu.

The sound file needs to be in a .wav file, mono channel, and 8000 Hz format!To convert your audio file, use this handy website: G711.org – Telephony File Converter
When using this website to convert the file, select the “Standard Definition” option for the Output Format.

  1. When you are finished with the call you can either select “Try Again” to re-do the recording or select “Done” to upload the sound to the menu
