I thought those were inductive pickup coils There's some circuits here: www.epanorama.net I've used www.epanorama.net before with success.	Agent_24 (57)

I wonder how businesses and government departments get away with it then? They often have a recorded message telling you that your call will be recorded, but if you don't agree to the recording, how are you supposed to talk to them?	Agent_24 (57)

Its entirely your choice at that point to continue with the call..... or not.	DeSade (984)

What if it's the IRD or something and you *have* to talk to them about something, but object to them recording your conversation? You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Of course I guess with the government, that's a given...	Agent_24 (57)

You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Of course I guess with the government, that's a given... Pretty much. By telling you they are making the choice to stay on the line yours which is implied consent. If you really wanted to fight it you could have grounds, but not for the IRD as they do have a office you can walk into so you are not shut out of vital services. You would have to prove that it was a vital service and you could not access it in any other way than by phone. It is possible there is a case there, but its shaky at best.	DeSade (984)
1372048	2014-04-07 04:21:00	No - if a phone conversation is recorded, then only one of the two parties has to know. It is illegal for a third party to record a conversation. The Privacy Commission says you should inform the other party, but it is not obligatory to do so. I talked to them a couple years ago about this, and that is the advice I was given. If you have an old pci dialup voice modem around - plug that into your comp and then route the phone line in and back out of the dialup modem first, and then to the phone. (phoneline only, after the splitter/filter etc) Then you can use NCH TRx software to record etc - www.nch.com.au The trial download should be all you need	bevy121 (117)

Well based on this either of us could be wrong so best to get your own advice on it, again if you care.	DeSade (984)
