Here are a few of the funnier entries:</div><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>"I think you may have me confused with Siri."</div><div><br></div><div>"Thank you for calling. Self destruct has been initiated will occur in thirty seconds. If you believe you have reached this destination in error please enter the twelve digit abort code now or hang up and seek shelter immediately."</div><div><br></div><div>"It's not you, it's me. Let's find an agent."</div><div><br></div><div>"For quality control purp.. (laughs) for quality control purposes, this call (laughing) may be..."</div><div><br></div><div>"Awkward!"</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's only a tiny sample of the 111 new prompts, all available for immediate download from the <a href="http://www.asterisk.org/downloads">downloads page</a> at Asterisk.org.</div><div><br></div><div>Remember that you can request new prompts at any time from the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dERsMVdGNjBwVmVGWlUzcmt3ZzJTMFE6MQ#gid=0">online form</a>. The prompts can be funny or practical. If they're practical, they need to be generic / universally (i.e. don't ask her to record your automated attendant messages - that's how she earns her living). If they're funny they should be in reasonably good taste. Allison will issue a new set every few months.</div><div><br></div><div>As always, if you need custom prompts you can order them from Allison on the <a href="http://www.digium.com/en/products/ivr/allisonsmith/">IVR prompts page</a> on Digium.com.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>-S</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><span name="x"></span><meta charset="utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><div style="font-size: 10pt; "><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b"><b>Steve Sokol</b></span></div><div><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1">Asterisk Marketing Director | Digium, Inc.</font></span></div><div><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1">31762 Timberlake Drive, Crystal Lakes, MO 64024</font></span></div><div><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1">Direct: +1 256 428 6101</font></span></div><div><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1">Mobile: +1 816 806 8844</font></span></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; "><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b"><br></span></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; "><span id="559601e3-00d2-4aa7-bd2b-6de261c34f3b">Ask me about <a href="http://www.asterisk.org/">Asterisk</a></span></div></span><span name="x"></span><br></div></div></div></body></html>
