Record your 

Personal Whisper Announcement

 

- The 

standard Whisper announcement is:-  

“Please say your name after the tone”. 

This is played after your personal greeting, and just needs to ask the 
caller to say their name after the tone. You may like to change the 
wording or just record this same announcement in your own voice 

 

(see note on page 23). Some people like to explain that they are 
screening their calls and say:- 

“We screen all calls we receive - please just say your name 
after the tone and I will try to connect you straight away”.

Record your 

Personal Zap Announcement

 

- This is the 

announcement played to callers when you Zap them, and also when 
trueCall recognises a Zapped caller ringing back. The standard Zap 
announcement is:-  

“I’m afraid that we’re not interested in your call – please 
hang up now and don’t call us again”.  

Some alternative examples are given on page 24. If you want to 
change this see the note on page 23.
