Moreover, there are also many techniques that can be used for this purpose, some are not well-known though. Before recording a cell phone conversation, you first need to ensure that it is legal in your state. In some states, it is illegal to record conversations without the consent of the other party.

A majority of the latest mobile phones have the facility of recording ongoing calls. This is probably the easiest way of storing the call recordings. It is just a matter of using the appropriate buttons for starting the recording process. If you have a mobile phone that has this feature, and you want to record a conversation, initiate the call. A majority of cell phones will not allow you to start the recording procedure unless the call is in progress. During the call, press the 'options' or 'preferences' button displayed on the screen, depending on the type of cell phone you have, and select the 'record' option. After you have pressed this button, you will see a timer indicating that the recording is in progress. Few cell phones may have a time limit on the call recording. When the call is ended, the recording will stop too. You also have the option of stopping the recording before the call ends. On some cell phones, a beep may be heard during the record, which indicates that the call is being recorded.

If you do not have a cell phone with the in-built recording function, you can use a cell phone call recorder. The popularity of this device is growing. It is mostly used by business entrepreneurs for the purpose of recording important corporate calls and transactions conducted over the phone. Moreover, it is also used for personal use. Typical cell phone call recorders have a particular adapter that has to be plugged into the cell phone, so that the calls can be recorded.
