how to record phone conversations
« on: November 28, 2009, 05:25:50 PM »
I found this product http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2141764 for hearing the phone calls I make but can someone suggest a good recorder. It has to be sold at a store or have free online shipping.
Thank You in advance

Does no one bother to do their own research any more?

Go to RadioShack. Dollars to doughnuts they have a suction cup recorder you can slap on the ear piece of the phone for like six or seven bucks and be on your mary way.

http://www.phonelosers.org/article/recording_telephone_calls/ is a good place to go for recording advice. 

As far as hooking that earpiece into a recorder, that all depends on what YOU want to record to.  Anything will work.  If you want tapes, get a tape recorder.  If you want it to go into your computer, either hook it directly to your computer or get a digital recorder that lets you transfer the sound files via USB or SD.  If you want to record to 8-track tapes, this is a nice recorder, but you'll have to buy a 1/8th" to 1/4" adapter.
