How to record calls on an iPhone
October 3rd 2013

In a time where our phones can order pizza, hail cabs, and detect our
heartbeats, you'd think it'd be easy to record a phone call. Unfortunately,
it's not. Despite what you may think, recording calls isn't as easy as pressing
a button on your iPhone, so in order to get it done you'll need to install an
app. There are tons of these littered across the App Store and the Web, and
while many of them promise crystal clear recordings and nonexistent pricetags,
very few live up to these claims. To help you pinpoint the right app for your
needs, we've scoured the Internet in search of the best call recorders and
offered up a quick overview of our favorites in the paragraphs below. Here's
how to record calls on an iPhone:
**Record Incoming Calls
If you're looking to record an incoming phone call, your best bet is using
Google Voice. Like all of Google's products, Voice is completely free. The only
caveat is that Google doesn't allow you to record outgoing calls - only
incoming ones. This makes it rather inconvenient if you're hoping to record any
conversations that you yourself need to initiate, so if you need to record an
outgoing call, skip to the next section of this page.
To start recording incoming calls with Google Voice, you first need to set up a
account. This is extremely easy - just head to voice.google.com and follow
instructions. Once your account is up and running, the next step is enabling
call recording so you can actually record and save stuff. Here's how that's
done:
1.) Go to your Voice homepage.
2.) Click the gear icon in the top right or tab to this choice and hit enter.
Then select Settings from the dropdown menu.
3.) Click on the Calls tab.
4.) In the Call Options section, check the box that says Enable Recording.
Once you do this, you can record incoming calls by pressing 4 on your phone's
keypad during the call. This will trigger an automated voice to notify both
parties that the call is being recorded. To stop recording, simply press 4
again or end the call. After you stop recording Google will save the
conversation to your Voice inbox, which is where all your recordings can be
found/listened to/downloaded.
**Record Outgoing Calls
When it comes to recording both incoming and outgoing calls, you'll need
something other than Google Voice. Unfortunately there aren't too many free
options out there, but if you don't mind shelling out a few bucks, your range
of choices widens substantially. We've tested out quite a few call recorders,
and based on what we've seen, here are your best options in each category:
Free: Call Recorder by NoNotes.com
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/call-recording-by-nonotes.com/id522637615?mt=8
If you're only looking to record one call, this app is probably your best bet.
After you download it and sign up for a NoNotes account, you get 30 minutes of
call recording for free each month. If you go over this monthly limit you'll
need to purchase additional minutes, but the good news is NoNotes offers a
variety of different pricing options. If you only need a little bit more time,
you can pay 25c per additional minute, or you can buy in bulk at get 100
minutes for $10. As an added bonus, NoNotes also offers low-cost transcription
services, which are ideal if you're recording an interview.
**Pay-per-minute:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/call-recorder-intcall/id521680097?mt=8
NoNotes is a good option, but if you're looking for cheaper pay-per-minute
rates, IntCall might be a better choice depending on the country you're calling
to. Additional minutes can be purchased for $5, $10, or $20 dollars, and the
cost per minute varies in each country. We definitely advise checking out the
price list before you buy anything, but most countries can be reached for .10
or 0.20 cents per minute, which makes this a bit more of a bargain than the
pay-per-minute plans offered by NoNotes. The only downside is that it works
through a VOIP line, so you need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order to
use it.
**One-time payment: TapeACall Pro
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tapeacall-pro-record-calls/id577499909?mt=8
If you don't mind shelling out some money up front for a good app, spring for
TapeACall Pro. For just ten bucks, you get an unlimited amount of call
recording time, regardless of who or where you're calling. It works a bit
differently than the other two listed here - you initiate a recording by
placing a call to whoever you want, putting them on hold for a moment, then
opening the app and hitting the record button. Once you do all this, the call
is merged and stored with a remote recording service. When you're done
recording, you can access the stored audio file right from your phone.
Verse and thought:
Proverbs 16:1
The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the
LORD. (ESV)
Today's Inspiring Thought: Give Up Control
The New Living Translation puts it like this: "We can make our own plans, but
the LORD gives the right answer." As believers, finding our way in this life
often means giving up control. For some that's harder than others. Like Jacob,
we prefer to wrestle with God until we're finally broken.
For those of us who hate to let go (also known as "control freaks"), we usually
learn the hard way, but eventually come to see the wisdom of giving up our own
plans and letting God have the reins.
You are invited to a time of praise and prayer from 5:00 to 6:00 every Tuesday
held in the lounge at First Presbyterian Church 870 W. College Jacksonville,
Il. Come in the double glass doors by day care off of West Minister. Turn
right at the first set of double doors across from the coat closets. Go up
these stairs and turn left at the top.
The lounge door will be opened and welcoming you in to God's open house of
praise and prayer!
