Wow seems a bit much? I use 1.2.22.....yeah if you make it generic it would be nice and I would probably upgrade. I guess. The only other way to do this is to just drop the announcements and record a message on hold for a specific group with music in the background at the recording time. So for team 1 context [team1] and team 2 context [team2] and play various messages specific for the groups. Russell your a genius.....nice setup.
