Help recording cell phone calls

[jsharmon7]

I’m having a hard time finding an easy solution for recording a cell phone conversation. Putting it on speaker and using a digital recorder isn’t ideal because of background noise. All the apps I’ve found require some weird 3-way call thing.

Is there some device I can plug into my iPhone’s port to record a conversation? I’ve looked at Bluetooth digital recorders but they don’t seem to do what I want.

This isn’t something I’ll be using regularly. Part of my job sometimes necessitates needing to record a call on the fly. I just need an easy solution to that.

Thoughts?

They do make a bluetooth call recorder, you can find it on amazon for around $100. I used to use one called Minah years ago and it worked okay.
You can also use a standard digital recorder with an Olympus TP-8 earpiece and it will record both sides. They run about $20 and are very reliable.

Try ACR. I used to use it when I made sales calls.

For $17 on Amazon, I’ll give it a shot.

And dont count on anything that connects to the lightning port. Im sure apple will see recording as bad and protect us from it.

Keep it simple.

Though this jack is supposed to be for a "tape recorder", any recording device will work....just match the jack and input.


I never cease to be amazed at how complicated folks want to make things by limiting their choices to what is common in the current time.

I miss Radio Shack.

Agreed.
Adaptors, patches, and bridges for most anything.
It was like the NAPA of electronics.

Oh, so this is for your own phone calls... never mind.

I dont think that will work. Thats for old school corded phone handsets. At least it probably wont work with a smartphone.

Our first business computer, in 1985, was a Tandy, probably the 1000 or 2000 model. It did the job. First email address was through AOL. I have a good friend that still has an AOL email address.

I have a good friend that still has an earthlink email account. He's an INGO member, so I won't name him.

That was first thought too, and I immediately remembered using them for work and that it most likely wouldn’t work for a cell phone.

Man, I am getting old.

I'm envisioning a Flintstones solution where a small bird sits in your phone and chisels the conversations into small stone tablets, then looks at the camera and says "It's a living..."

If the bird is willing to testify, this solution is on the table.
