As above, preferably not on loud speaker. I need a little bit of insurance

Thanks

I guess it would depend on the circumstances of the recordings

A lot of companies record phone calls, but they warn you that they are doing so

Dont you have to get courts permission to wire tap & record phone conversations, I may be wrong and stand to be corrected

But I guess a lot of it would largely depend on the reasons as to why you need to record a phone conversation, and will you tell the other party that you are recording them ?

When some **** is refusing to pay ten grand that they owe you, you would take whatever circumstancial evidance you could get to take to court

Same old story of contactors trying to do over smaller contractors All i'm doing is playing them at their own game and counteracting their lies

ahh I see

I wasnt questioning you as such, I am curious as to the legality of recording phone calls etc

I read somewhere the other day that it may be happening automatically for us all anyway soon whether we like it or not

Just spoken to someone in the know, its not ilegal and can be used in court. If it gets thrown out, at least it will get heard

The N95 will almost certainly have a call recording feature already on it, I remember phones I had 3 years ago had it. Its just a case of going through the menus to find it when in a call, or you maybe able to set it to a shortcut key. It might give a small beep every 30 secs or so in the earpiece which the other caller may hear as well though but dont some payphones do this as well ??

most new phones no longer have this function as I'm sure it is illegal in some countries so wont be in the normal FW.

Cool

You can record, but are required by law to inform them that it is being recorded.

I would imagine that if you needed to use this in court, their lawyer would immediately object on the grounds that their client did not know they had been recorded, and it is unlikely the call would be heard.

I think that the law changed a few years ago.

So long as one of the active parties is aware that recording is taking place, then it is legal. However, you can't tap into a call (non-active) and record conversations - well, not unless you are the government, or in the US who want to allow the security services to tap any call, without a warrant, that has a participant from outside the US

Kinda makes sense, as it is a conversation that you are participating in - but some of us have poorer memories than others
