Recording phone calls

[kev0360]

Is it possible to record phone conversations on this model. All I seem to get is the sound recorded from th e microphone? :shock:

Hmm, I thought that was illegal anyway.

Well, if the person on the other end doesn't know that you're recording that is :)

I suspect that the phone software has been deliberately coded to try and block any attempts to do this, as it is indeed illegal unless you notify the other person at the beginning of the call that you are recording the conversation. (it's called wiretapping, and it's still inexcusable as evidence in a court of law)

Thanks for your input all.

My Sony Ericsson t610i records phone conversations at the touch of a button, so it's not illegal. It is also possible to buy and use phone recorders for landlines quite readily

As I understand it, is only illegal if you are a business and record and save conversations and details without the usual disclaimer at the beginning of a call, private individuals can do whatever they want.

As it happens some scumbag stole my xda at the weekend so I'm back to using my old 610i at the moment!

Yes, it can be done without any trick, at least with my device… I’ve tried several times and it works fine.
About the question to be illegal or not, I think this would vary depending of the country’s laws where you are living. :wink:

In the Uk, recording a private phonecall is legal, as long as it is for your own use. The moment you intend to make the recording available to a third party, you need the consent of the other person in the recorded call.

I too have been looking for ways to record my calls on my XDAIIi. I think the developers are just lazy, as it is obvious that if the duplex can be sent to the handsfree. Then surely it can be sent through a recording loop. Any way please see the below attachment outlining recording of Phone calls in the US, UK. Canada, and Australia. I took it from http://www.voicecallcentral.com/help/acc/source/legal/contents.htm

It also clearly states why people may want to record their conversations - especially when dealing with corporations who record their calls, but always conveniently lose the recording where they said you were right....
