Audio recording of a voice conversation

**donotuseyourname** · 01-07-2009, 01:18 AM

I've thought about this before but recently it became something that might be very valuable to me. It is recording the conversation digitally to my Bold while in a conversation. Is this possible? Is there a second party app available to do so? These smartphones can do everything else, why not this?? Any input would be helpful. Thanks

Doesn't exist

It may not exist for the BlackBerries but it does exist.

I was on a call recently trying to make arrangements for a client needing a last minute piano rental and delivery to one of the award show venues. The rental company's owner was on his cell phone and asked me to wait a moment so he could engage his recording feature. Once he did I was able to simply speak in normal conversational speed all the equipment and venue details, as well as the address and phone contacts for the stage managers, etc. There was no way he could have been writing it down that rapidly.

I have no idea what the application was, but it was very helpful.

I could do this with my Samsung A920. It was very handy.

I used winmo phones for years and know of none that were able to record both sides of a phone conversation unless you used the speaker phone. What winmo phone do you know of that could do this?
Palm OS phones definitely could though.

have you tried just using the voice recorder lol

**Dogmann** · 01-07-2009, 05:55 AM

Hi all,

There were quite a few programs that did this for S60 some without the annoying beep every minute as well. Although as mentioned i haven't seen anything like this for the BB.

Interestingly, my last two LG dumbphones would record both sides of a phone conversation easily and without letting the other person know he was being recorded

just be sure, if you dont get consent it is illegal.

**six2one** · 01-07-2009, 09:14 AM

in most places its legal as long as one of the people know its being recorded (i.e. no man in the middle)

my old nextel phones did this back in the day...i would love to have this option again!

Not illegal in Texas.

Check this out. Looks promising for a lot of applications.

I wonder that maybe you could use the audio recording feature and record the call, IF you had the person on speakerphone. I'm pretty sure it can be done that way...

I understand the first one to be a scam to scavenge e-mail addresses. It's potentially vaporware.

I have one on my Treo 680. The program is called "CallRec", it records both sides of the conversation. And it also doubles as a regular voice recorder.

I saw that in my searches, seems to be a great app. Doesn't appear to support the Bold, though.

Nope. I searched for a few hours for a program on a Blackberry. But I never found one. I do hope someone makes an app for the Blackberry.
My cousin likes to make prank calls, but he has a BB. He ends up using my Treo to make the calls.

My nextel i580 does and it is great except for it doesnot store on the sd card.

I was able to do it on my sony ericsson phones. Only problem was that on one of the phones it would beep every 10 seconds when you recorded so that the caller knew you were being recorded. On my other SE phone there was no beep when you recorded. It would be a nice feature to have since blackberry's are "business" phones.
