Hi Charlene,
Since recording phone calls is illegal in many juristictions, Apple does not allow it on the iPhone. Now, there are apps which claim they can do this and I'm sure some of them can, but pretty much all of them that I have seen require you to sign up with them (often they are not free) and you then have to place what basically is a 3-way call with the third call going to their servers where the call is then recorded. In other words, you call their server, then you call your number and you merge the calls and it gets recorded this way. If somebody calls you you would have to open the app and ask the caller to hold a moment while you establish the recording session. A much easier way to record phone calls is to use an app like Acrobits or Groundwire (which is also from Acrobits). Groundwire is what they call their "business caliber SIP client" and it costs $9.99. The regular Acrobits app is I think $5.99. Both have a Record button. Of course you then have to sign up for a VoIP service somewhere, this is easy for making calls since all you have to do is sign up with a company like www.VoipStunt.com <http://www.VoipStunt.com> , www.VoipBuster.com <http://www.VoipBuster.com> , www.VoipCheap.com <http://www.VoipCheap.com> etc. There are literally dozens of them, I use Voip Stunt, but most of them are similar. Voip Stunt requires you to buy a credit, usually 10 Euros (they are a European company) and then you get 120 days of free calls in North America and to about 40 or so other countries. After that your calls are billed at about 1 Euro Cent a minute. If you also want to be able to receive calls via VoIP, you have to sign up for an inbound number from a company like www.Flynumber.com <http://www.Flynumber.com> and once again there are others out there. My inbound phone number from Flynumber is $2.95 US a month and this includes unlimited incoming minutes. Alternatively, if you just need to record the occasional call, just put your iPhone in speakerphone mode and use a separate tape or digital recorder to record the calls by placing it next to your iPhone. I think that's a lot less complicated and it works just fine. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
