    There are some legal reasons to think about. Some states require both parties to know and agree to the recording. Other states only require single party.

      I live in a two party state so I have a workaround: Every phone call is answered with “this call may be recorded for customer service and training purposes. If you do not consent to being recorded, please hang up now.”

      Either they agree to be recorded or I don’t have to talk to them. Win win.

        Can you still have custom sounds for the calling sound? Back in the day everyone had some shitty, barely audible version of their favorite song

        I actually did something like this in 2015. There was a app that what it did was send the caller to voicemail first, but you can pick up and intercept. And I did that whole “call is being recorded” thing. And I also had it recording as well.

        I loved it because 95% of calls to my mobile were spam anyways. So fuck it.

        The app got shut down a few years later with a android update.

      Well why not just have recording off by default, and let people decide for themselves whether to break the law?

        Companies generally do not want to implement potentially illegal behavior.
