"This call may be recorded"

is there a recommended app which you can use and set to auto record your mobile calls?

We used ACR on the wife’s phone when she was being bullied by her director, it cost him his job, edit it looks like the app has changed now so wouldn’t recommend now.

On my way into a comedy club I once saw a sign that said "strong language may be used".

So I said to the guy in the ticket office "give me a fking ticket, you !"

I record all my calls - although it's getting harder and harder to find Android apps which work, unless you use speaker phone, which is not always appropriate. As mentioned previously, there is no requirement for an individual in the UK to either request consent or to inform the other party that they are being recorded.

I've only ever had to use the recording once in anger - our local vets denied that we had an appointment that we turned up for. They were not very happy when I played them the call making that appointment!

It's also useful occasionally to save me having to relay the whole of a conversation to my wife; i just let her listen to the recording instead.

I use an old phone for that specific reason; Google has broken all call recorder apps in current versions of Android.

I find it very useful at work, when someone needs to tell me something and I can't write it down at that moment because I'm driving.

My handwriting is terrible.

For years whenever I’ve had a call with a client (video or audio) I’ve used a voice recording app on my phone.

It’s helped as I can use exactly their terminology/style of speaking when writing a proposal.

I’ve often had feedback ‘you absolutely captured what we meant’. Well yes, as I pretty much quoted them in the briefing.

Never told anyone I’m recording them. Probably got a hundred or so on the app going back years.

When someting has been queried I have said I’ll go back and check my notes, just get it from the voice recording. Obviously more accurate than written notes.

If you phone a company or organisation and hear a recorded message saying the call may be recorded, does this give you the right to record the call?

good Q i once asked 2 solicitor friends. they seemed to both agree you can, provided you ask the other party if you believe you may need to rely on it for future non-personal uses.

frankly IMNSHLO why not -- CYA is so prevalent with the anti-customer behaviour with most companies these days i even save their chat sessions!

My wife has a cheapy alcatel running Android-Go. Downloaded Cube ACR and it records both sides of the conversation no problems. Also, my son has an Asus phone (about 2 years old) and there is just a switch in setting to turn call recording on or off.
