With technology being what it is today, it is possible to record phone conversations undetected by the receiving party. However, there are federal and state laws regarding Privacy Acts that you should check out first according to www.fcc.org.
Recording of the phone conversation.
The periodic "beep" you hear during a phone conversation would be an indication that it is being taped or recorded. The caller should be getting your permission before recording the call. The component is probably located on the caller's desk, the one who is doing the recording.
Yes, but the party does not have to comply and the person objecting to the recording of the conversation has the option of terminating the communication.
A Recording
no law
In most states as long as one party of the conversation, which could be the one doing the recording, has knowledge that they are being recorded, recording a phone conversation is legal.
In Texas, it is legal to record a phone conversation as long as at least one party involved in the conversation consents to the recording.
In California, it is legal to record a phone conversation if all parties involved consent to the recording.
So no one can eavesdrop on on the conversation on a different phone when they are on hold.
The caller waits until the phone is picked up by the one he is calling and until the person being called identifies himself. Then the caller pronounces his name, and the conversation starts.
Only if you notify the other person that you are recording the call.
In Pennsylvania, it is legal to record a phone call if at least one party consents to the recording. This means that you can record a phone call as long as you are part of the conversation and aware that the recording is taking place.
