record-phone-callsYou would think that recording a phone call on your mobile device would be a snap, thinking there must be a button on my phone to do this, but you will have a hard time finding that button since there are steps you have to take before you can easily record your next conversation. There are apps that will do this for your computer or your mobile device but it takes some steps to set up. Once you have the proper set up then it is important that you let all the parties on the voice call give you permission to record the conversation for legal reasons.

Apple doesn't want to be a party in the wire tapping business so it prevents you from using any of its built in apps to record a phone call. However, you can download several apps to record a phone call from the Apple App Store from third parties such as Call Recorder By Component Studios and follow the directions. [1] You can search the iTunes store for more apps that record phone calls. [2]

Google, on the other hand, has no issues with your recording phone calls and provides apps and instructions using Google Voice [3], while Google Play has lots of apps you can download to record phone calls for your Android [4].

Another solution is to use Skype and download the $29.95 App, Call Recorder and follow the directions. [5] You can try it for free for thirty days. There is an extension that even allows you to record FaceTime calls for an additional fee.

Of course, you can purchase hardware to record phone calls, purchase software or a even a voice service that will record phone calls and the choices are impressive if you do a Google search. [6] There are articles to read about this subject which we recommend such as David Breen's article in MacWorld and one from Digital Trends. [7]
