iPhone call recorder?

There are some apps in the app store that claim to provide this functionality, do a search.

It's not an obvious feature since it is illegal to record someone without their knowledge in many parts of the world including the US.

It's definitely illegal to record calls without the knowledge and agreement of the other party in the UK whether or not you're using a jailbreak.

"Calls are recorded for....purposes" messages abound at call-connection where calls are recorded within the realms of the Data Protection Act which deals with the legitimate storage of information!

Be careful!

This is completely wrong. Recording a phone call on your own phone for personal use is completely legal in the UK.

I used to do this a couple of year ago on a Windows Mobile phone. I have looked for an app that does this but haven't found one yet other than the pay for service that you have found

If you want an app like this, it's not a waste of your time to look for one. No one here is going to do it for you.

Something I used, for uk and outgoing calls only

make sure you understand how it works though, also it's really simpel to find, you only had to enter call recording in itunes...

Only if the recording is never made available to a third party, i.e. someone who was neither the caller nor the intended receiver of the original communication.

That's why I said personal use, although I doubt that the law is as cleat cut as that. Data protection laws in the UK are not especially robust for things like this and spam/email marketing. There is no UK or EU equivalent of the Spam Can Act for instance.

The UK Law is very clear: personal use does not include playing a 'personal' recording of a call to ANY person who was not party to the original call, so 'come and listen to this' to someone else at some future point is breaking the law.

If a person is a party to the original call then why is there a need for them to record it at all anyway?

While the others debate UK law I'll just go ahead and say this. I don't believe there is anything in Apple's framework that would allow an app to record a call which is why you can only find ones that offer a service. They're doing it essentially by being the man-in-the-middle.

Clarity and legislation are normally uneasy bedfellows. But I do agree that the law here seems fairly unequivocal which is why my original post made the point clearly about personal use. The fact is, recording a phone call is not itself illegal in the UK nor does it require the consent of the person at the other end of the phone. Why people choose to records calls or want to record calls is their subjective decision and does not need to be justified to or understood by us.

I have Lupus and unfortunately have had memory impairment due to attacks on the brain. Therefore, I cannot remember details of my phone conversations. This affects my ability to do my job. When I bought my iphone4 yesterday I wrongly assumed there would be an "app" to record my personal calls. I have no problem letting my clients know Im needing to record due to my disability.

My solution, although not solved by an integrated app is a working solution and may be applicable for others. I have glued a small square of velcro (1 inch) onto the back of my "ottobox" phone protector. I purchased a 4 inch digital recorder which uses the new small digital flash media. When I'm not wearing the iphone, I attach my recorder to the velcro patch. I attach one end of a "y" cable into the 3.5mm headphone jack of the iphone and plug the other end of the "y" cable to my digital recorder. Its easy to press "record" when I need to record a call, Incoming or Outgoing. makes no matter. So, until apple is able to feel good about creating an internal software solution, this is a solution for those who may also need a digital record of their phone conversations. It also enables u to later use an application on your laptop and have the digital file easily translated into a written file using a speech to text software application should you have a need for a hard copy too. I use this and it makes it easy for me to check off each detail I need to accomplish. Hey, we who have "impairments" have to get creative! Hope this helps someone.
