I am going slightly off topic here, but I wanna say I like the prospect of being able to save phone conversation for your record. But I was wondering about the legal implications of doing it without letting the other party know. Then I looked up this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws#United...

I would advise the author to check this out and see if he or the person he talked to was in one of the states that prohibit wiretapping without consent.

prat- AZ law states that at least one party must be informed that the call is being recorded. They monitor and record their calls for Q/A and I'm doing the same... Society would be better off if the common man had the same weapons as corporations to enforce accountability.

I totally agree. And I wish that this thing hurts them in some way. Having moved 3 times in last 3 years, I absolutely understand your situation of not being able to break up with an organization whether its a fitness center, cable company or a bank.

I've always wanted a device which would answer the phone and state 'This call may be recorded for personal assurance, press 1 to continue or hang up if you object to being recorded.' Then it would only ring through if they pressed one.

I doubt I'd have to even record calls as the dubious folks would just hang up.

(I wonder if this would be a salable Google voice feature)
