To be able to trottr everywhere at any time, we recommend to save the trottr dial up number in your mobile contacts.
How to Trottr
Call one of our access phone numbers, hear a short welcome message and talk after the beep.
Finish and save your recording either by hang up, be silent or pressing the #-key. Cancel your recording with the 0-key.
If you don't want to trottr by phone - no problem. Upload your recordings in the form of a .mp3, .m4a, .aif, .amr, .wav, .3gp or .wma file on the "my trottr" page with one click or send it with a simple email (e.g. using your iPhone) to your timeline. With that, you can publish your voice messages from anywhere on the world with any device.
Here is an example: thepete: trying out trottr..
Your personal voice message will be available in your trottr account and in your favourite community's timeline. Now, you can do what you want with it - listen to it, delete it, attach it to an email, include it in one of your communities, or use one of trottr's extensive range of services like adding images or text.
How to use the telephone menu
If you are on the phone with trottr, you have to remember three things, only:
| # | "the menu key" gets you to our audio menu at any time |
| 0 | "the cancel key" cancels the current recording + goto menu |
| * | "the friend key" listen and answer to friend's voice messages |
These are the audiomenu options:
| Key | Function |
| 1 | record a new trottr voice message |
| 2 | respond to a trottr voice message |
| 3 | listen to or delete your voice message |
| * | listen and answer to friend's voice messages |
| 5 | change the channel (enter "000" for "no channel") |
| 7 | request a new PIN |
| 9 | delete telephone number |

Hint! The keys shown in the image are shortcuts: You can already use them during the welcome message.
