If you utilize an IVR or Call Menu service, it may be useful to set up customise voice prompts.

First, follow the instructions for setting up an Admin Number here: https://help.tnz.co.nz/knowledge_base/topics/changing-my-voicemail-greeting

Next, dial your number from your Admin Number to set up additional prompts:

  • Call your Voicemail Number from the number you registered as the Admin Calling Number. Your Voicemail Number must see your Admin Calling Number as the incoming Caller ID. Ensure your Admin Calling Number does not come in as "Anonymous" or "Private Number".
  • Enter your PIN Number followed by the hash (#) key
  • Press '2' to record a voice prompt
  • Enter the necessary Keypad Code (see table below)
  • Record your message, and press hash (#) key when finished
  • Press '1' to listen, '2' to start over, or you can hangup
