[Freeswitch-users] You don't need to save a greeting to override your existing one in Voicemail

[Michael Collins]

Emrah,

I think this is doable with some programming in mod_voicemail.c although I
don't believe it's a high priority at the moment. However, you can manually
emulate this behavior by recording a new greeting number that is different
from your current, active greeting. For example, if your current greeting
is 1, then record greeting 2, make sure it's satisfactory, then set 2 as
your active greeting. It is basically an extra step, but at least it
doesn't require any coding changes and it will get the job done.
