Folks

I have a genuine & legal need to sometimes record conversations made on my cellphone. The parties concerned all agree to the procedure. Any advice as to the best way to do this?

I have a device bought eons ago from Tandy which is a gizmo which you attach to a phone neat the ear area with a rubber sucker and which then plugs into the mini-tape recorder via 3.5mm jack. It fails miserably to record any conversation on any of my cellphones. There IS some conversation there but you cannot hear it because of a strong high pitch buzzing (bit like the noise when someone tries to send you a FAX down the normal phone line).

Perhaps someone can advice if there is some fundamental reason why this old Tandy device will not work with a cellphone.

There is a device in the Maplin catalogue [ZQ78K] but that looks sort of similar to the device I already have. Maplin are not far away so I will go and try it out in their shop if possible.

Thanks
