I looked into this a while ago, and I'll offer a few things I found:

First, recording regulations vary state-to-state in the US and even more
widely elsewhere. In the US, there are some states that require the
knowledge and consent of both parties to record a call, and others that
require only one party to record a call (meaning you can record the call,
because you consent without telling the other person). Check to see what
your state requires before you do it.

If you are recording something that is already a conference call, you will
have a hard time doing this. Most conference calling services offer the
ability to record a call (cost varies), but generally the host of the call
must do this, and other participants can't.

When I was looking around, I found an app called "Recorder" that will
record calls. I think it only handles one-to-one calls, and requires
calling a third party service to do this. You might look at this.

Google voice also offers the ability to record a call - it may be able to
record an outbound call, so you can use it to dial in to your conference
calls and then get your own recording.

If you are in a fixed location and the same location every time you make a
call you want to record, there are also switch-box-type devices (I got one
at Radio Shack) that plug into a phone, a headset and a recording device
that will do this.

Again, make sure it's legal in your state or location.

Hope that helps!

Jeff
