I specifically want to capture some hilarious voicemails from friends that I have been saving for a compilation. Also, it would not hurt to record conversations with various companies known for making promises over the phone & "noting it on the account", then having no record of it down the road.

I use Android, but I'm sure iPhone users will check this thread also... recommend away!

I've looked into this before and found that most devices won't allow this. Hopefully my research was incorrect.

Hmmm.. maybe there is some sort of headphone/mic plugin device then?

I saw some website that basically setup a conferencing bridge, you dial it and the person, and it records the call. Don't have a name for you though, but you can probably Google it.

Google voice will record inbound calls... I think.

I was looking for this the other day and got the impression there were several high rated Android apps that would do this. I didn't install them and try them out...am I mistaken?

^^^ Yeah, I had a friend who used an iOS app that did that to record phone interviews. Can't remember what it was called, though. There's gotta be an on-device solution for Android, though.

Any one of these apps should do it.

Total Recall. Only one that I've found that actually works on my Galaxy S4, and I've tried a long list of programs. Been recording all/most of my calls since ~2007 on a Palm 650, almost entirely to deal with shady companies such as Time Warner Cable, Sprint, etc that make promises over the phone with no intention of following through or delivering. Main problem is that it's an absolute pain in the ass to go back and review these calls and extract just what you need/want.

Just as an FYI, NC is a "one-party" consent state (only one party on a phone call (ie, you) has to consent to recording the call), and therefore this is legal. Some states such as PA (and I think NY & CA) are 2-party consent states, in which both/all parties must agree to being recorded. I think it's an unchallenged grey area if someone from NC calls someone from PA and records it, but I'm not sure. I know it wasn't asked, but knowing the legal background on this shit never hurt.
