connection greeting wont play if phone unplugged

Sales advised that we can use the connection greeting to add emergency announcements.  This has been great since we can update all connection greetings with a template.

 

This was a pass/fail requirements since we wanted our system prepped for disaster recovery.

 

I am finding now that the system is in place for 6+ months that the caller does not hear the message if the phone is unplugged or lets say the internet connection is down.

 

Cant we have an option to play the connection greeting even if the phone is not plugged in?  Making this an option would keep the operation the same for people that dont need this or want it.

Where are you saving the greeting (advanced rule, ext, company hours, group, etc.)? 

I recommend creating an extension for "disaster recovery" and saving that greeting there.  Then in the event of a disaster, you will need to login online (or on the cell phone app) via ADMIN and turn the rule ON to fwd calls there.
