Hi Phil

Yes, there is a way of achieving that, since that is a service already used by countless telephone providers in the UK, especially for clients within the financial services industry.

Please tell me more about what you are seeking to achieve, and I will advise how a solution would work and the investment involved.

I simply want to record calls (made on a standard landline) in a more convenient way than onto a tape machine. These are long (hour) interviews and I need to be able to refer back to check facts and access old info in the future.

Since the system does not tell me there has been a reply.

Phile, could I suggest taking this off here - perhaps an email to info@combyne.co.uk would speed matters along?

Hi Phil,

There are devices out there that plug into a standard analogue line in between your phone and the BT socket. Heres one example: http://www.1topstore.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&produ...

Another option albeit more complex is to use a software exchange solution such as Asterisk which would have call recording built in. You can still route calls out to your analogue landline or indeed a VoIP/SIP digital connection that uses your Broadband connection. This option might be slightly overkill for your needs.

A third option would be to route your calls through a third party number. The third party then record your calls for you and allow you access to them via a web URL or somesuch.

Please be aware however that you MUST tell the person you're recording the calls. I believe that this is a legal requirement.
