   Answering Machines

   For years answering machines have had the ability to record phone calls with the press of a button.
   
   It would be great to be able to record a phone call on a cell phone and then email the recording to my home email for later reference.
   
   The same technology could be used to record memos to myself. There are already stand-alone devices that do this. Why not build it into a phone? Then I could record a memo and send it to my email.

   No Subject Given

   What if the button spoke to both parties upon being pressed? If it simply said "Recording..." when you pushed the button, you would be in compliance with most of the USA's various one-party and all-party limits on recorded conversations.
   
   It reduces the effectiveness of the vanishingly small number of situations where you surreptitiously record a confession of a crime, but most of those recordings can't be used in court for the same legal limits on recorded conversations.

   I have one of the new phones that run on microsoft mobile and these have the ability to record phone calls within the note taking application.

   Just do the periodic 'beep'

   When in recording mode the phone should add the traditional periodic 'beep'to the sound both parties hear.

   Right to Know ...

   My phone currently has this feature. I've not had an opportunity or desire to use the feature although I do use voice dialing and the voice notes feature. I believe I read somewhere in my manuel that when I turn on the record feature it causes a beeping in the background every few seconds similar to the ones that are used on phone calls made here in my office. If I read it correctly, both parties are able to hear the beeping in the background.
   I really do not have a problem with being recorded.
   I REALLY DO have a problem with being recorded WITHOUT my knowledge.
