Purchase cassette based telephone recorders

Record all of your phone calls inbound and out using cassette based hardware. There is no limit on how many calls you can record; just buy more cassettes as they fill up. Label each cassette by date or other criteria of your choice.

I recommend: Ahern offers phone call recording equipment that is cassette based and loaded with features. P5090 - P3 Deluxe Phone Information Recorder w/Caller ID comes with time/date stamp,inbound/outbound recording, AC adaptor or optional battery pack and more. If you are on the road and you need to record your phone calls, Radio Shack has the Mini Recorder Control that connects to any phone and any cassette player to provide 2-way phone recording anywhere, anytime.

Choose computer software phone recorders

Software phone recorders provide solutions to your phone recorder needs for your business. Most are plug and play, which makes for ease in installation and use. The only limit on how many calls you can record is the size of your hard drive. Many systems will continue to record new calls for you when you reach your limit, by overwriting the oldest calls.

I recommend: NCH offers phone recording software so you can record your phone calls using your computer. They also provide a free demo, so try before you buy. They provide step-by-step installation guides--pick your system and follow the steps. The system records inbound and outbound calls and acts as a caller ID.

Know the laws for using call recording equipment

Before you begin using your phone recording equipment, check the law in your state. Many states have a law that only requires one party to agree to the recording, but some states have laws that state all parties must agree.

I recommend: Find the law in your state for recording telephone calls. Just click your state on the map provided, and acquaint yourself with the laws you must follow. General information about taping phone calls is also available.
