The benefit of using a single Read (instead of  using several Playback,
Background and SayNumber) is that  IVR users don't have to wait for the last

I can be frustrating for users to be sometimes unable to reply without
waiting, just because the audio message can't be pre-recorded (because it
includes some variable data).
