Lately I’ve noticed an increasing number of companies recording my conversation “for quality assurance.” In some cases like calls to my broker this is reasonable, but turnabout’s fair play; and perhaps a really good idea in the face of company’s like Verizon that refuse to honor their agreements without a court order<\/a>. So here are my questions:
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Technically, what sort of setup do I need that I can easily plug into my phone and record a conversation if I want to? <\/li>\n
  2. What are the legalities involved here? (If it matters, I live in Kings County, New York.) I recall that in at least one jurisdiction where I used to live, recording a phone conversation required both parties’ consent, and a recorder that beeped every 15 seconds to remind the parties’ that they were being recorded. However perhaps this has changed, doesn’t apply to interstate calls, or is just being ignored by most companies today?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In case it’s relevant, my main phone line is a Vonage line that goes over the Internet. I don’t use my cell phone or non-internet land lines very much these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
