How does this telephone recording service work?
First, you will need to register with us and verify your phone number. Once registered, you will be able to use our service to record your phone calls. There are three ways to record your outgoing calls:
Dial-to-Call:
In this method, you enter the receiver's phone number and call our dial-in number. Once we receive your call, we will connect you to the receiver. In this method the receiver sees your number on his or her phone.
Merge-and-Record:
This method is similar to making a regular phone call. However you include an additional participant in your call - our call recording service. This allows us to record your call which is then saved to your account.
