Do you think so?
Remembering that most people, if they pick up the phone to hear a 
recorded message will immediately hang up without listening to it, then 
there's the few that will listen and not get it or understand, either 
because they have answered their phone in a crowded room expecting a 
real person to be on the end or because a lot of the time you don't hear 
a recorded message the first time you listen to it (even if you're 
expecting it to be recorded).

I think a text message is a much more elegant way (presumably relayed 
though an SMSC so that sending the message to all users doesn't take a 
day to do).
