Who it is for

For any business that answers the phone

The first few seconds of a call decide how a business sounds. Phone Greetings gives a small office the polish of a studio recording, without the studio.

Offices and clinics
A warm greeting, a clear menu and opening hours that callers can follow, for practices, firms and agencies.
Shops and trades
Sound established from your first call. A greeting and voicemail for when you are on a job or behind the counter.
Phone system owners
Run 3CX, Teams, Zoom Phone, RingCentral, Cisco or FreePBX? Get every prompt in the file format it expects.

How it works

From a short brief to a live greeting

In the dashboard, with the same account and balance as the rest of PacketExchange. No studio booking and no waiting days for a recording.

  1. Step 1

    Say what you need

    A greeting, hold messages, a phone menu, voicemail or an out-of-hours message. Add your business name, hours and departments.
  2. Step 2

    Get the script written

    The script is written for you from a short brief. Change any line, or write your own from scratch.
  3. Step 3

    Pick a voice and music

    Choose a voice, a language and a music bed, and hear a 10 second preview of every prompt before you pay.
  4. Step 4

    Buy and put it live

    Pay once from your balance. Download the file for your phone system, or load it onto your PacketExchange number in one click.

Listen

Hear the voices before you sign up

Every voice is an AI-generated voice, chosen for phone lines: clear at telephone quality and easy to follow. Samples stop at 10 seconds.

The voice gallery opens with your account

Open the builder to hear every voice in every language, with your own script and music, before you pay anything.

What you get

Recordings ready for your phone system

Written, voiced and mixed for the phone line, then delivered in the format your system expects.

  • Scripts written for you

    Describe the business in a line or two and every prompt is written in a clear, friendly phone style. Edit any word before you buy.

  • Voices made for the phone

    A curated set of AI voices that stay clear at telephone quality, with American, British and Australian English and six more languages.

  • Music under the message

    Pick a music bed and it sits quietly under the voice. Menu options never get music, so callers hear every choice and every key press works.

  • The right file, first time

    Every order includes G.711 µ-law and A-law, 8 and 16 kHz PCM, an HD master and MP3, with a guide for your phone system.

  • Live on your number

    Load a finished recording onto your PacketExchange number in one click. No download, no upload, no format to choose.

  • A licence that never expires

    Pay once and use the recordings on your phone lines and your website for as long as you like.

  • Two languages, one menu

    Translate your script and record it in a second voice, so callers can choose their language.

  • Change it when things change

    Free edits after you buy, or Always Current for unlimited updates to hours, offers and holiday messages.

Example scripts

Written for you, in your words

Give a short brief and the script comes back ready to edit. These are the kind of lines it writes.

  • Main greeting

    A dental practice

    “Thank you for calling Harbour Dental. We are glad you called. Please stay on the line and one of our team will be with you shortly.”

  • Menu options

    An accountancy firm

    “For tax returns and bookkeeping, press 1. For payroll, press 2. To speak to reception, press 0.”

  • Out of hours

    A heating engineer

    “You have reached Northfield Heating. We are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. For a breakdown, leave your address and we will call you first thing.”

Questions

Phone Greetings, answered

Install guidesTalk to our team
What can I make?
Main greetings, phone menus (press 1, press 2), hold messages, voicemail greetings, out-of-hours messages and holiday messages. A Business Pack covers all of them for one line.
How long does it take?
A couple of minutes to write and preview. Once paid, the full recordings are usually ready within a few minutes. Some scripts are checked by our team first, which can take longer.
Do I need a PacketExchange number?
No. Download the files for any phone system. If you do have a PacketExchange number, you can load a recording onto it in one click.
Is the voice a real person?
No. Every recording is made with an AI-generated voice, and the files say so. This audio was generated with an AI voice. The voice is synthetic and does not belong to a real person. Each file carries that marking in its metadata, and the licence asks you not to remove it.
Which file formats do I get?
All of them, in every pack: G.711 µ-law WAV (WAV, 8 kHz, 8-bit, mono, µ-law); G.711 A-law WAV (WAV, 8 kHz, 8-bit, mono, A-law); PCM 8 kHz WAV (WAV, 8 kHz, 16-bit, mono); PCM 16 kHz WAV (WAV, 16 kHz, 16-bit, mono); HD master WAV (WAV, 48 kHz, 24-bit, mono); MP3 (MP3, 44.1 kHz, 128 kbps, mono). Our install guides say which one your phone system wants.
What does the licence allow?
Perpetual, worldwide and non-exclusive, for your own business phone system and your own website or app. It cannot be transferred, and it does not allow reselling the audio on its own, training voice models, robocalls or any deceptive use. Files you have already downloaded stay licensed if you cancel. The full licence text comes in every download.
Can I change the script after I buy?
Yes. A single greeting includes 3 free re-edits within 7 days. Packs include free edits for their edit window, and Always Current includes unlimited edits and re-renders.
Can I hear it before paying?
Yes. Every prompt can be previewed in the builder, the first 10 seconds in your chosen voice and music. The full recording is made once the order is paid.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not downloaded or loaded the recording yet, we refund the order to your balance. After that, use your free edits to change it instead.
Which languages are there?
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch. English comes in American, British and Australian voices. A second language is included in the Pro Pack and is $29 on other packs.
Is there anything you will not record?
Yes. We do not record scripts that impersonate a person, a bank, a government body or another company, scripts that ask callers for card numbers, PINs or passwords, or messages for automated outbound calls. Scripts are checked before recording, and some are reviewed by our team first.
