    some phones allow this function others do not. You'll have to look at your options when in a call, other look on the phone makes website.

    Many modern cell phones allow you to record a call and save the sound file to your phone. If you don't have this feature, there is another reliable option for recording cell phone conversations.

    If Your Cell Phone Has Recording Features

    1

    Initiate your call. Most cell phones won't allow you to record until the call is in progress.

    2

    Press "Options" or "Preferences," and then "Record." You will see a timer begin counting to indicate that the call is being recorded. Some cell phones have a time limit for how long you can record, so try to keep things brief.

    3

    Inform the other party that the call is being recorded before any pertinent information is discussed. It is illegal in 12 states to record someone else without their knowledge--you must get dual consent. In these states if you are planning to use this telephone conversation for any type of legal proceeding, it may be inadmissible if you didn't get the other party's consent. In the other 38 states, you only need consent from one side (see the Resources section for a list of dual party consent states).

    4

    End the call. Once the call is ended, the recording will end too. You can also stop the recording before the call is completed by pressing "Options" again and then "Stop."

    5

    Name the sound file and save it to your phone.

    If Your Cell Phone is Not Equipped with Recording Features

    1

    Purchase a telephone recording device and a tape recorder.

    2

    Connect the recording device into the tape recorder and then put it in your ear. You can also use the telephone recording device to interface with your computer and save the sound recording to a computer file.

    3

    Start the call on your cell phone (ear to phone) and press "Record" on the tape recorder. The telephone recording device will tape both sides of your conversation and save it to the tape recorder.
