UploadSoundFile

This method uploads a sound file. Our system accepts WAV files (PCM, u-law, A-law, or MS ADPCM). To use the sound file in a message, put tildes (~) around it and start it with a caret (^). Example: Hello ~^soundfile~, you are great. (The message would say “Hello,” then play the sound file, and then say “you are great.”)

Syntax
