Play message immediately after phone pickup
I want to disable the answering machine detection, How can this be done? I was wondering if upgrading to 7.x would give me the requested functionality. This feature request was making broadcastbyphone able to start playing back it’s message immediately after the phone has been picked up. If this is the case, I would like to upgrade our 6.x installation to 7.x and buy an additional 7.x license for our secons site.
Yes, in release 7, we have made the change in the “most aggressive” detection mode. It is guaranteed to play in the message within 3 seconds of phone pickup, regardless of whether there is human voice or not. This behavior is different from release 6, where the message will only play after human voice, live or answering machine, is detected.
The above feature should work well for VOIP (SIP based or skype) because there is a distinct signal when a phone is answered. This feature may not work that well if you use a voice modem and analog phone line, where there is no such signal. But in any case, download release 7 to a new computer and give it a try.
