I forgot to mention, if anyone not wanting to respond by text or phone. I simply just do a “as per our conversation on the phone (write down what they said) and email it.
once you have a record of it all’s well.slow.rider and K_R Thank this. -
Also, if they have that recording, then it's legal. If you call the office and they start with a taped message that says "this call may be recorded", then you may record the call.

Depends on state law. I'm from Ohio. Only requires one party to be aware its being recorded. I have notified myself.
I actually record all business calls. Mostly for me. If I forget something, I dont look like a moron calling back.NavigatorWife, Brettj3876 and slow.rider Thank this. -
Yup. I've done exactly that, with a thank you on the end of it for extra professionalism. It's an excellent bs eliminator. Qualcomm message works the same except potentially has a larger audience.NavigatorWife Thanks this.

"According to Wisconsin-based law firm Matthiesen Wickert & Lehrer, 38 states and the District of Columbia allow what’s known as “one-party consent” for recorded conversations, either in person or over the phone, while 11 states require “two-party consent.” Those 11 states are California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington."NavigatorWife, black_dog106 and K_R Thank this.

One of the issues drivers could have when recording calls is that even if your office is in a one-party state and you reside in that same state, but you happen to be in a two-party state when you record the call, should you later try and use that recording you could potentially be in a pickle. Like I said, getting it in writing is way better (even though I did record calls).
NavigatorWife, slow.rider and K_R Thank this. -
I record all calls between me and the company, I dont care about the record law, if its for my personal use, sue me.... Dont care.
NavigatorWife, jamespmack and black_dog106 Thank this. -

My phone calls all go to message, they must use Qualcomm so I can screenshot any bs.
HoneyBadger67 and NavigatorWife Thank this.
