BTW.. without sparking a flame war, and I have no idea how accurate the information is, but it seems that 'single party consent' applies as long as the recorded is not to be used for illegal purposes.

This means only one party (in this case the business) need consent to the recordings for them to be legal. I imagine the company therefore gives itself approval to record all its calls, and thus, its all legal.

*shrug* IANAL, and I dont know how accurate the information is, since it was a curiosity google search and comes from a company marketing software to accomplish it.. .. but it seems fairly factual and similar to my understanding of other jurisdictions laws

From: http://www.callcorder.com/phone-recording-law.htm

Consent

Generally, it is legal to record any conversation where all the parties to it consent (one party consent if all parties are in a state with corresponding law). The U.S. federal law only requires one-party consent to the recording of a telephone conversation, but explicitly does not protect the taping if it is done for a criminal or tortuous purpose. Many states have similar exceptions.

In the US I think this illegal?  Aren't you supposed to have some sort of notification or beeping to indicate a recorded call to the other party?

Just a thought,
