Hi,
I use command Directory for dial by name option.It is working well,but it’s only spell letters of the user name.How can i set the option that will play the all “user name” and where i need put the record?

Thanks!

You need to have your users record their name when they login to their voicemail. Then the recording of their name will be played instead of it spelling out their name. There is also a setting in voicemail.conf that forces all users to record their name when they login to their voicemail.

ismir, is this still an open issue?

what angler meant that “users record their names” is: your users have to open their voicemail using the phone. one of the option is to record their name, greetings, etc… they have to speak through the phone.

I am having the same problem…the name has been recorded, plays back fine in voicemail, 2 wav files were created (greet.wav and greet.WAV) but in the directory the name is spelled out rather than the recording being played. Any ideas where to look?

Thanks,
Mike
