Are there any good recording devices to record phone conversations?

[KhoiFather]

My mom in law is in need of one and I can't find one that is a reasonable price and the smaller the device the better. Don't bother asking why she need one, its family business. Thanks! :beer:

Anybody?

Yeah, RadioShack makes/sells one. You plug a regular phone cord into it. It records on mini cassettes.

Radio Shack is your answer KhoiFather, but make sure before you tape a phone conversation, that it's legal in your hometown

LOL, legal? It's gonna be recording the phone convo in the house.

If you live in the US, there are Federal Laws that you should be aware of IMO

As long as one party is aware of the recording it's legal IIRC. As it's your mom doing the taping, it shouldn't be a problem.

You can buy little bugs that transmit fm and are powered by the phone line.

Actually, I believe there are state laws that require both parties know that the conversation is being taped.

Hm. Quick google search found this, for what it's worth:

Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation.
Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.
