3.8.3 Recording an announcement on a regular or an IP phone

An announcement is a recorded message providing information to callers. It can be recorded using your phone as a voicemail message or loaded as an audio file. The system hangs up after playing an annoucement. Callers have the option of pressing * during an annoucement to return to the auto attendant. Callers can also press 0 to perform other actions if this is configured in the voicemail options.

You might include in the announcement a mention of the selections a caller may press and leave a section of silence at the end to give the caller time to make a selection.
