We're about to do another batch of sounds, and I see by my word count that we
have some extra time left over. So, suggestions will be entertained for
additional prompts in English, Spanish, or French. The only rules are: 1) the
prompts have to be generic to Asterisk. No "Welcome to so-and-so's business"
unless the business is fake and the prompt is funny. 2) The prompt may not be
profane. Our professional speakers do have a sense of humor, but there are
some things they just will not say.
I'll open it to the floor now, with the caveat that since Digium is paying for
the recording session, it maintains final editorial approval over which sounds
are selected.

How about some prepaid balance-related ones that aren't
calling-card-specific. Things like:
"Your balance is too low to connect this call."
"Please add additional funds to your account."
"Your account balance is..."
and one for the permissions set:
"...from the account..."
(to go along with the "Calls to the number you have dialed are not
permitted....")

The word "Dialing..." and "Calling..."
As in "Dialing 911, please wait..."
and as in "Calling 911, please wait..."

Also, I'm not sure if there any as of yet, but maybe some kind of credit card
processing statement? "Please hold while we process your transaction...", "Your
transaction has been approved.".
I'll be writing an AGI executable in the next few months to interop with
PCCharge and Mercury Payments so it would be nice to see some credit card
snippets added too.

Hello Tilghman & all,
About a year ago, I wrote a simple AGI script to read off statuses from
our Nagios monitoring.
I couldn't find anything that talked about status, other than the
weather. I resorted to using things like cloudy, rainy, sunny, etc.
I think some generic words like: unknown, critical, alive, host,
printer, allow(ed), cpu
I'm sure whatever we end up with will be useful though, so thanks either
way!

I would suggest holiday-related prompts, like
"The office is closed for christmas"
"Happy thanksgiving"
"Happy summer solstice"
"We're closed for the weekends"
"Shopping holiday"
etc...

For those providers that want to show they are a SERIOUS phone company.....
"We don't care. We don't have to. (snort) We're the Phone Company!"
"No, no, no, you're dealing with the telephone company."
"We are not subject to city, state, or federal legislation."
"We are omnipotent."
Sorry?... What was that Ernestine?
Oh, it seems they've already been done!
regards,
Drew

Actually, I can see the reasoning.
Most of our 911 calls are by accident. 9 for an outside line and 1 for
long distance. They forget that they've hit the 1 and hit it again
(Making that 911 call). We got complaints from the 911 provider and I
ended up putting a 3 second delay on the 911. If it was a mistake, it
gave them enough time to hangup.

It introduces a small delay before dialing, giving the user a chance to
panic and hangup when they realize they dialed 911 instead of 9-1-phone
number. The local Sheriff's office has gotten so many 911 hangup calls
from my client they will begin charging my client for the false alarms.
If someone is going to die because of an extra 4 seconds to patch the
call thru to 911, I doubt they will be around to sue anyone anyway.

LOL haha that's what I was thinking... but Eric and Doug's comments are
very true. I had 112 dialed on my cell the other day (I'm in the US,
though) and accidentally hit the dial button instead of the clear button
(they're very close). The instant that happened, the phone said it was
dialing 'Emergency Number' so I hit the abort button immediately. Like
no more than a second after I hit the dial button. It aborted
immediately. "911 Emergency -- we just received a hangup from this
number" came calling back within 15 seconds.... Yes, a slight pause
there would have helped me avoid that! Thanks guys!
