Protect yourself - record your phone calls with a phone recorder

You can protect yourself from someone lying about a conversation you've had if you record your phone calls with a phone recorder. Check local laws, but most states allow phone calls to be recorded as long as one of the parties (you) is aware of the fact. New, digitial phone recorders with large amounts of storage have made this easier to do than ever before.

You can obtain a digital phone recorder that will record up to 288 hours of conversation. That's about 1GB of storage. These relatively inexpensive voice recorders offer VOX (voice-operated recording), which means you don't have to listen through long periods of silence to find your conversations in the recording. They also allow you to jump immediately to a certain date and time - there's no fast forwarding and rewinding involved. For more information on the phone recorder.
