The phone you use to record your greeting – and your surrounding – can turn your carefully scripted greeting into an unprofessional mess. Background noise is terribly distracting, so choose a quiet room or parked car to make your call. Landlines, or a “wi-fi enabled” cellphone call, can provide much better connection quality than a standard cellphone. If you must use a cell phone, be sure to use a high-quality headset for the best clarity.
To upload a file, click the upload button. Next click browse and select the media file from its location on your computer. Click the blue upward arrow icon to begin the upload. When you are finished, click Save Changes. Next, click on Advanced and select Options. Please make sure to check the box in front of Already Setup. Next add recipients by clicking on Advanced and select Recipients. Please note, the voicemail box must have a greeting associated with it before you can add recipients. Recipients allows you to email selected people when the voicemail box gets a message. For User voicemail boxes, the email addresses you add here are in addition to the user’s email address given at signup.

Note in the above screenshot, our system ran perfectly fine for nearly three weeks. On September 12, however, we must have lost internet connectivity in my house as shown by the 9 minutes of downtime. The Pi and our scripts were running fine, but the webserver didn’t have web connection in the wee hours of the morning. Regardless, that problem thankfully sorted itself out!
Well done on recording your new professional voicemail greeting with script! Remember that you can update it again in a few months time. I recommend you open your online diary, choose a date 4 months from now and type in – Update Voicemail Greeting with Speech Active’s Video. Your listening skills and pronunciation will be even better than they are now. Especially if you continue your improvement with one of our tailored online English Pronunciation & Fluency Courses.
