Two iPhone questions...

July 16, 2008 7:49 AM

After being lied to repeatedly by my credit card company (PC Financial), I have two iPhone questions: 1) How do I get voice mails from my iPhone onto my computer? and 2) how do I record calls made on an iPhone? I have the 1.0 version of iPhone and an iMac if that makes any difference. Thanks!

GotVoice will retrieve voicemails as mp3s.

I can answer #1. See this web page for a tutorial. There might be a new app in the appstore that can do this, I don't know.

I don't know a way to record calls, but I'm pretty sure it would have to be a native app to do it. You might want to do some searching on the App Store.

The Olympus TP7 telephone pickup allows you to record anything you can hear through your phone (phone conversations or voicemail, doesn't matter). It's like a tiny mic that you place in your ear, that eavesdrops on your conversation. Just plug it into any device that can record audio. I've used it and it works very well.

Just FYI - before you record any telephone conversations, check your state laws on wiretapping and eavesdropping. Something like 12 states have laws that prohibit recording telephone conversations without consent of each party to the conversation.

Thanks for the answers so far.

detune, I'm in Canada. We don't have laws like that here. Here, as long as one of the person having the conversation is doing the recording, it's legal.

Oops - sorry, dobbs, assumed you were in US.
