  2. Recording Phone Conversation To PC?


    That is what I would suggest and it is legal in The US as long as one of the parties knows that it is being recorded and since you are one of them it is OK. It would be illegal to say record your say room mates calls.

    w8.1 phone call recorder

    The only call recorder apps that can work on Windows Phone is a 'conference call' setup where the third participant is a computer that records the call and makes it available online. They come at a cost, both for the app, the extra phone call and a possible
    subscription fee for the service. Availability vary by location.

    Beware of fakes and discontinued services, since this is a popular request.



    Please add your vote and comments for a built-in call recorder in one of the feature suggestions on

    https://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions?query=call recorder



    My setup is to put the phone on loudspeaker and then record the call on a handheld tape recorder (dictaphone) on the rare occasions I need it.
