FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is recording a call legal?

38 states, including New York & New Jersey, are considered “1-party” notification states, that means that at least 1 person (you) on the phone call knows the phone call is being recorded. The purpose of this is to avoid the 3rd party from spying on both people on the call unknowingly.

The other 12 states are “2-party” notification states (CA, CT, FL, HI, IL, MD, MS, MT, NV, NH, PA, WA), which means you would have to notify the person you call that the call is being recorded. When you enter the phone number to call, our system will even tell you if it is a state that requires you to tell the caller that it is being recorded!

Either way, it’s important to know that our service is not intended nor permitted to be used to spy or entrap anyone, so regardless we recommend simply telling the caller that the call is being recorded. In fact, notifying your caller that the phone call is being recorded will most likely keep them more honest.

Our system even gives you the option to automatically notify callers upon answering the call that the call is being recorded or play a beep in the background every 15 seconds during the call to signify that the call is being recorded
