Recording prank calls?

[Krassus]

I was just telling a buddy of mine about funny phone call i just made to the local electronics retailer and i don't think i've ever heard anyone laugh so hard. So i guess some of my stuff may be worth recording? Well, what equipment do people usually use? I've got cable, but when i had a modem in this computer before, i could never get it to record anything with call recording software. Never figured out what the problem was. But anyway, what do you guys recommend?

i recommend you don't make harassing/crank phone calls

How to Put an End to Unwanted or Harassing Phone Calls

It is against the law in California and other states to make obscene or threatening calls. (California Penal Code section 653m)

How often do I have to get these calls to make it harassment?


Just one unwelcome call can be harassing; but usually your local phone company will not take action unless the calls are frequent.

Can I sue the telemarketers?

Heh...you probably shouldn't do this in California or "other states". NPR had Adam Corolla on a few weeks ago, and he explained how there were a few states where they could make prank calls with impunity. Figure out which states these are, and go to town.
