Duno about @home, but on the standard Asterisk you can use the 'A'
option in the dial command to play any file to the person called on
answer, while the caller still hears ringing.

Set up a ring group and select your recording from the "announcement"
option. Then in inbound routing, point the incoming number at that ring
group.

Just thought, this is in freepbx.... I don't think AMP has that option.

Surely that's a queue you want?

You could even use an IVR.

Yep, on A@H you cannot have announcement set on ring group..


In response to what Jono said i'm afraid queue's and IVR's are no good
for what i am doing

I'm happy with it is now!

So it's all ok
