Record calls?

[musclepump]

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?

 

[DOMS]

How about this?

What kind of phone do you have?

 

[musclepump]

I have a Blackberry 7520, no built-in feature

How about this?

Perhaps something that can be picked up in a retail store?

For $13 buy the ebay unit off of DOMS' link ...

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.

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...

Just storing them for notes
