1372030 2014-04-05 21:32:00 Is there a simple way to use ones computer to record telephone conversations?

I don’t have a phone capable of this but figured it must be possible, just can’t think of an easy way.

Naturally, both sides of the conversation needs to be recorded.

:thanks

1372034 2014-04-06 02:25:00 Thanks notechyet but this is likely to be a oncer.

Just to give you a bit of background Sky are doing a deal with a third party which entitles you to Sky TV free of charge until December.

Only problem is when you accept they want all your details including relatives names not living with you, income, bank details, permission for credit check and so on.

I pointed out that this was supposed to be an obligation free trial so all these details aren’t required until such time as the obligation free offer expires and I wish to continue.

Not so they tell me. I must sign up for a full deal and then notify them if I don’t wish to continue prior to December.

I guess they hope you will forget to notify them and therefore become a full customer contracted to them. Dirty pool in my view, so I want to collect all the details, including Telephone Conversations, and lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. :groan:

How about Misleading Advertising and Unfair Trading Practices?

I agree. A contract should not be deemed to commence at the conclusion of a trial simply on the basis of a trialist's default. They are not yet customers because they are trialists, and if that approach was truly valid no person would be safe trying on an item of clothing or test driving a car.

It is sale by subterfuge, even though they have no doubt written that into their trial terms and conditions. It should take an affirmative action by the customer to confirm acceptance, and Sky have the capability to cease service automatically at the expiry of the trial period, so they should just allow that to happen. In my opinion it is a cynical 'default marketing' method worthy of any of your average to common or garden shysters, rip-off merchants and the 'your computer has a virus' scamsters.

It should be an 'opt-in' requirement to initiate the ongoing service, not an opt-out to withdraw from the service.

1372038 2014-04-06 07:40:00 I see this a lot with cloud software services and "free" trials that some offer.
They want your credit card details for a trial!
Then if you forget to cancel your trial you are automatically signed up.
I refuse to trial anything that requires my credit card details because of this.

Edit: Can you tell us who the third party is that are doing the free Sky deal until December?
And what do you have to buy from them to get it?

1372039 2014-04-06 08:45:00 My thoughts entirely Billy .

Only too happy to fill in all the details CYaBro but just want to get my ducks in line before spilling too many beans .

That includes recording my next telephone conversation which I hope follows the same course as my first where an Indian or Pakistani gentleman told me “I vood do as he said” .

The ensuing conversation is not fit for publication . ;)

Anyway, to record my next conversation with this prick I’m looking along the lines of a junction box and recording from Line In on the motherboard . Anyone have any ideas along those lines .

:thanks
