What is an announcement?

An announcement is an audio message played to callers when they dial your number. It’s often used as a custom greeting, for example:
“Thanks for calling Dave’s Auto Repairs. Please hold while we connect your call.”

Announcements are a simple and effective way to give your business a professional image, and are available for just £2 per month.

You can personalise your message to say anything you like. Create it using our free text-to-speech tool, or upload your audio file via the customer portal. It’s quick, easy, and adds a great first impression for your callers.
