ok,

click:
start -> all programs -> accessories -> entertainment -> sound recorder.

now make your recording.

then when you go to save it, go file -> save as, click 'change' -> change the format to 'CCITT u-Law', and attributes to 8.000kHz, 8bit, mono. 7kb/sec. then click ok, then save .

Sound Recorder will do it if you first convert the MP3 to uncompressed WAV. However, there is heaps of free sound utilities around that will do it in one go. One that will most likely do it and a lot more is Audacity, but it might be a bit of an overkill for what you want to do.

There is a help file as well, under messaging /greetings, which will have a link to recording a audio greeting
