asterisk users - Dec 2011 - Simple Generic IVR to get us up an running Quick

Hello Everyone,

Are there any descent generic IVR recordings, that we can
use to quickly get our PBX up and running? It will obviously
not include the company name.
A sexy female's voice always do well yeah?

Cheers,

Nicholas.

Ahem,

The English and French set includes the 'extra' as well, which include a
host of extra useful prompts (Such as touchtone[123], intended as a
polite fallback in case of a caller with limited hardware).

Hello Tzafrir,

Thank you so much for your response. I was aware of the sounds extra however.
I did forget to ask if there was an up-to-date configuration example
(extensions.conf, sip.conf etc.),
that makes use of the sounds to get an IVR up an running. This is for
a SIP platform.

Thanks Again,

Nick.

The sample extensions.conf (and .ael and IIRC .lua) include a simple IVR
in the context "demo".

It's easy enough to make your own recordings.
Word of caution though.

It might be advisable to ask somebody outside the company to record the
phrases, Wonder why?

At home i did it my self, and i still hear people stating that they have
been talking at me, totaly unaware that it was just the voicemail
anouncements. Peope just hear a voice, but seldom listen.

And not just 90-old aunts, 
But people from helpdesks and even CEO's.

Sometimes i wonder, if i should ask/test the callers I.Q. ,
And adapt the IVR's accordingly  >;=)
