How to record a phone call on iPhone with other apps

Google Voice is certainly a bit convoluted and only works with incoming calls. If you prefer, there are other apps you can use to record calls and outgoing calls.


In general, most apps work much the same way - to record a call, you need to set up a 3-way conference call between your iPhone, the recording app's recording center, and the party you're calling.


The best option available right now for free call recording, for both incoming and outgoing calls, is an app called Rev Call Recorder. This service is completely free and has no restrictions on the number of minutes you can record. It is currently only available for iPhone, not Android. 

Other apps that let you record both incoming and outgoing calls include TapeACall Pro (€ 10,99) and Call Recorder Pro ($ 10 for 300 minutes, then additional in-app purchases).


Call recording (recording time available through in-app purchases) works differently. It only records outgoing calls and you need to make the call directly from the app itself. But the app records the call on the iPhone itself, rather than storing it on a remote server.
