Changing Recorded Name 

A recorded name plays with messages that a subscriber leaves for other subscribers and identifies the subscriber in directory assistance. It also plays with any subscriber greetings that use system default recordings instead of personal recordings.

1. On the Media Player, enter phone number of phone in Number or URI, select the Record record button image button and record a name with the recording device.  Pick up the handset when the phone rings, wait for the tone, and then speak into the handset. For more information on using the Media Player, please see Cisco VoIP - Voicemail Media Player .
