How did you record and encode it?

I have found, for example in Audacity, at 44.1k and then try to use SOX 
to get it down to the 8k GSM format, you'll get the 
"Llllllloooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggg            
sssssssssllllllllllllooooooooowwwwww" speech. If you record a custom 
menu down at 8k mono before converting it, it will be good.
