Custom VM Greeting
I would like to use an audio file (mp3 etc) to change my voicemail greeting. Can this audio file be used as a custom replacement?
Well no. You can always call in to voicemail and record a new greeting. The visual voicemail app allows you to change greetings at least on the Android version. When I had an iPhone I could record a greeting by calling voicemail and going through the menu for voicemail greeting. Digits had no effect on that. But to be clear I never got digits to work correctly with my iPhone.
but like I said previously if you'll call in to your voicemail select your voicemail greeting and record a new greeting you can record whatever is playing in the background from another speaker and that can be your new greeting.
I'm sure most everybody knows somebody with a phone. Just about every phone on the market through any carrier or manufacturer has either a stock voice recorder or the ability to download an app that will do the same. It's as simple as recording your greeting on that voice recorder from another phone and then find a nice quiet area to replay that file while recording on your own phone. I mean if you need a particular background song or track you can play that in the background while speaking over that playing file. If you don't have access to another phone or a voice recorder of some sort, the method I use works just fine and at this point it's not really even a hassle for somebody who's done it several times.
