Cheers - I'll go and have a look at those settings.

In FreePBX, go to System > System Recordings to record a custom message.
You'll then be able to use these in IVRs where it says "Announcement", for
example.

I think the gotoiftime function uses UTC time, so it can be a bit

I havn't investigated it fully yet, but I think that is the current
situation.
