Custom Audio Prompts
We pride ourselves on listening to you, our customer, and taking the Ifbyphone product in the direction that you want it to head. For example, the ability to use custom audio prompts from the portal is a direct result of a customer request.
What are custom audio prompts? Good question. Well, using our API, you've always been able to customize prompts on the fly using Text To Speech (TTS). So if you wanted to tell someone the exact date of an appointment or the balance in an account - you just use a parameter and we tell the caller using our TTS engine.

One of the cornerstones of Ifbyphone's philosophy is to be the easiest company you've ever worked with. On the one hand that means providing unlimited free support to all customers. But it goes far beyond that as well. We are always trying to listen to not only our customers but all the people we talk to who are interested in the services we provide. Many of the past feature additions to the Ifbyphone suite have been developed as a direct result of our listening to what our customers want.

No less than Jeff Pulver has decried the lack of innovation in this space. At first, I objected to Jeff's post, saying that there were several companies doing interesting things (us being one of them!).
