"You need dial only the last seven digits for calls within the Manchester area, please redial omitting the figures oh six one".
Incidentally, the Asterisk lady is called Alison Smith.

Record your own using some of the 'text to voice' websites such as
https://www.readspeaker.com/text-to-speech-demo/
Type what you want, choose one of the voices and record it as it speaks it back to you.
That is also how I've produced announcements for CNet that way in the past as well as for the Speaking Clock that is still running on the PSTN on its old code '8081' on an exchange (01330 55) between Aberdeen and Braemar on the road that goes by Balmoral Castle!
I'll say no more
A normal 'landline' number so may well be in your 'free calls' package. Also on CNet on 0339 8081 for those connected to CNet - the replica of the GPO public network in the early days of Subscriber Trunk Dialling.
