In
my message, I have asked Rohani to record the following:
“Hi,
you have reached the Sharif’s household.
Press 1 for Ben, 2 for Rohani, 3 for Norsurya, or you may hold for
someone to answer your call if anyone is available. If no one answers your call, please leave a message”. -
Then hang up.
I
then verify my recording by dialing *99. I
can go to step 1 again if I am not happy with the recording.
Keep doing this till you are satisfied.
Once
I am happy with the recording, I gave the recording a descriptive name “MainMenu-Rohani1”
so I know what the recording is for.
Click Continue.
If you have a recording that
you have prepared in a .wav format you can simply upload that recording
Follow the prompt for the
upload and once again when the upload is completed, give the file a descriptive
name for you to know what that recording is for.
The above recorded files
either recorded manually or uploaded using the system recording facility will be
stored in the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom directory.
