2-2 USING TELEVANTAGE
About creating your voice title and voicemail greeting __________
This chapter explains how to create your voice title, create your voicemail greeting, and manage
your greetings using the phone.
When you first begin to use TeleVantage, create the following two recordings:
Q Your voice title (your name)
Q Your voicemail greeting (what callers hear when they reach your voicemail)
You can rerecord these recordings at any time.
Note: Your TeleVantage system administrator may have created these recordings for you
already, but you can create new ones in your own voice.
Recording your voice title __________________________________
Your voice title is a short recording of your name only. By default TeleVantage plays it when
the following events occur:
Q Callers dial your extension or are transferred to you (callers hear “Transferring to” +
<voice title>).
Q Callers look you up in a name search in the dial-by-name directory (callers hear “For” +
<voice title> + “press 1”).
Q You call another TeleVantage user (the user that you are calling hears “Call from” +
<voice title>).
Q You leave a voice message for another TeleVantage user (your voice title precedes the
message).
If you do not record a voice title, you might be prompted to say your name when you call another
TeleVantage user who has call announcing turned on (see “Call announcing” on page 4-2).
Important: Your voice title can contain other information, such as your company or title, but it
should not be a long recording. TeleVantage plays your voice title in the middle of recorded
sentences, so a long voice title can cause confusion.
