I do a lot of interviews for my job and these people generally call my cell phone. Is there any adapter or anything out there that would allow me to record the call?

How about this?

What kind of phone do you have?

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

If you want the best quality your going to need to use a landline and something that is known as a Hybrid in the radio business. All it does is bring a phone line to line level so you can record it. If that isn't an option then all you need is a portable recorder with an 1/8" to 1/8" cable running from your cellphone to the recorder.

Something I could buy at say, a Fred Meyer or Radio shack? Best buy?

Nope.

If you need to stick to your cellphone, then get this.

If you can use a landline then get this.

They aren't cheap but then again, if you are important enough to be doing interviews on a regular basis, I am sure $300 for something so important isn't too steep.

Would it work to have a mini-tape recorder hooked up to my cell phone jack?

But a digital recorder (they're not that expensive), but a 1/8" Y-splitter, a male-to-male 1/8" wire. Hook the Y-splitter into your phone. Plug the male-to-male 1/8" wire into the input on your recorder. Then plug both your headset and the recorder into the Y-splitter.

ABCs

That would work, but usually when you connect something to the audio jack on a cell phone, it cuts off all talking and listening abilities through the built in mic and speaker. Do what DOMS said as the most feasible alternative to a Hybrid.

Are you going to be sending these convos over the internet? Or just storing them for later use?

If it's that important to business get a small laptop and modem card, use the laptop for those important calls you need to record...

"We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that."
