​not true.

Good on you for doing this. I've been lied to in a similar situation, but had not recorded the call.

Libertas.

Haha, well if you don't say anything you're not supoosed to, you won't have anything to worry about now, will you lol 8

​Cannot be used unless it is "in the public interest".

I recorded a conversation between myself and a lady from the DWP. When later she blatently lied about our conversation I produced the conversation as evidence against her, she was livid but could do nothing about it because I said that it was in the public interest to filter out liars like her!

Would it work on IPhone?

The section of interest within this article is below, but as Libertas said this is from 2014:-

Can I record phone conversations with my bank or a retailer or is it against the law?
More often than not when we phone a company we are told that ‘calls may be recorded’. But this means that only they have a record of any conversations. We would hope that they would provide these as evidence if necessary, but we have no guarantee.
If you’re in the middle of a dispute with a company and want to ensure you have absolute proof of what is said over the phone, recording the phone call is one option.

The Information Commissioner’s Office confirmed that these types of recordings would not be covered by the Data Protection Act, since they would only be for domestic use and not intended to be shared with a third party.

Even if you eventually end up passing on the recording to the ombudsman in the case of a dispute, this would still be exempt from the Data Protection regulations, under section 36.

You could tell the person on the other end of the line that you were recording the conversation – however, you wouldn’t be obliged to if the purpose of recording was domestic use only.

Not compatible with the Google Pixel XL :disappointed:

You might not have a problem with it but I do and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

mE TOO AND HAD 'PRO' FREE ON MY Nexus 4, but somehow I seem to have lost the pro in transferring to the note 4 :cry: seems to be ok however

I disagree. It gives the consumer a lot of power should things ever go to court :smile:

I use the free "Auto call recorder" app all the time. It's the one with the microphone and phone icon. Works fine for mp3, amr or ogg.
Good for recalling exactly what someone said and picking them up on it if need be without going all I've recorded it...D'OH!

I was told it was several years ago and always believed that to be the truth. If it isn't illegal then it damn well should be IMHO.

I am very very cautious about downloading apps from 3rd party developers on play store.

For those of us hear that need guidance and education on how to be careful, when selecting an app - could anybody help - using this app as an example.

If I have understood correctly - Apple tear apart and app that is submitted to them - before allowing it on their store - so they know it's safe and will not compromise handsets. I don't know what the situation is with Play store?

​from what ive seen on IOS most apps thats can do this are subscriptions. tapeacall and no notes come to mind.

This is an article discussing the topic at hand.

Steps to document dealings with companies that could win a dispute

I was sent this by my work colleague - because of the section from the ico.

Lib.

Please note - article is from 2014.

Chinese phones have the call recording feature installed as default - so you can't get rid of it and it appears on the dial screen after you've dialled number. The recording quality is excellent!

No, it's absolutely not for private use.

I'll do these 1 by 1 :smile:

DPA
Businesses only have to announce it if you can identify the person through the data within the call. If it's not personally identifiable, you don't have to say.

Telecoms Regs
Businesses are under no obligation to inform you if they are recording calls for any of the following reasons to:
Provide evidence of a business transaction
Ensure that a business complies with regulatory procedures
See that quality standards or targets are being met in the interests of national security
Prevent or detect crime to investigate the unauthorised use of a telecom system
Secure the effective operation of the telecom system

And then for all of them... If you want to send the communication to a third party (another business or another person who wasn't on the call), you also need to announce it.

Does anyone record their calls to utility and service providers frequently? I am curious to how their call centres react this.

After being lied too by both BT & Talk Talk in recent years I have been considering this.

It is legal to record phone calls as long as they are for your own personal use.
The second you try to share them...

Source? Evidence? You've just contradicted someone's detailed post about the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, you might at least include why you think that.

Free recordings with a great free app
play.google.com/sto…_GB

​No apple dont tear apart apps they dont dig that far they actually have no access to the source code, developers build a binary and send that to apple which they scan for private APIs. Note i said scan this is done automatically and not manually and its certainly possible that a talented hacker can get past it. Both Google and Apple have staff testing (using) apps before there allowed on the market but without access to source code theres only so much they can do, machines can be tricked humans can mistakes/overlook things and can just be lazy so dont assume every app submitted is safe and has been properly tested.

It's illegal to use this in the UK without the other person's permission.

Anyone care to suggest or recommend a similar app for an iPhone 6?

thanks

This app wants access to your contacts. Which is something they will sell to marketers.

Remember, if its free then, you are the product.

Why? I can't conceive of any circumstance where I would say something to someone that I wouldn't want them to listen to later. We've already established that it's illegal to share it with any third party.

works well for me on the Priv, I got this the last time it was posted and found it very handy

Does a UK court qualify as a "Third Party"?

poor reviews also

du caller does this

Maybe more promising?, who knows?, lol

Yep!, that's what I found also ...

Been using ACR on the S6 and now the S7 and it's been brilliant.

​call recording is disabled in certain devices the only way to enable it is to root. Pretty sure it wont work with nexus devices or pixels.

Not compatible with any of my devices...wtf is all that about!

I had a call recorder app for a little while (not this one) but it drained the battery something awful - not sure if this will be the same.

In this day and age I'd feel completely at ease about letting an app record/listen to any calls I may happen to make cos it's not like they'd ever be interested in listening themselves :wink:

ACR call recorder is good and works well with one plus 3t and xperia z3 and has been reliable. Haven't tried with any other models. It also records conversations through Bluetooth if that is something someone is looking for.

Worth mentioning in the heading that's this is for android

It worked well before the latest Android update. Had recorded 15 minute calls when cancelling a phone contract. But as it sits it's not compatible with the recent os.

will give it try, thanks

Reviews are not that good, lets see how does it work?

downloaded see how i will get on.

It does and has always applied to companies. See Data Protection Act 1998, Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 1999 to name just a few.

Cheers Bud.

Thanks, but not compatible with some phones as already mentioned, & many more, mostly free alternatives with a better rating (4 stars above only in link below):

​This does not apply for companies.. I know this after a customer tried to get me sacked based on a 2nd phone conversation they sent my employer. I justified my actions/behaviour at the time because after the 1st conversation this is how they made me respond.
However the company refused to supply the 1st conversation to my employer..
In the 1st one they were rude to me and told me not to call them. My manager made me call them a 2nd time. So I was possibly too honest on the 2nd call.. hence why sending this to my bosses put me in a sticky situation.
Needless to say I looked to see if it was legal.. A company does not have to announce they record calls.

You should always tell the other party that the call is being recorded.

You could say :- Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes"
I found this article from the 13 March 2006 -
news.bbc.co.uk/1/h…stm

Is this legal or do you need to tell the person you are recording them?

Not compatible with many devices.
