>>>...and we know that. I can also make any recording with my phone (a Nokia E5 with Symbian), or for that matter, any of phones in the family. And the sound quality is great, I've often made rather good recordings of street music, concerts in public or tavern bands.

>>>However I can't make a recording of my own calls. Not even in Skype anymore, the old mp3skype by Aleksej Nikiforov can't plug into current versions.

>>>If those phones are more powerful than any bank's computers as of just 20 years ago, how come they can't do this? They can shoot videos with stereo sound, can play them, can play games requiring serious power, have GPS... and yet can't record the calls they make?

>>I don't understand what you mean by "not even in Skype anymore". Are you trying to record your Skype conversation on your phone?

>No, on the PC where Skype is - but then the same goes for Skype on phone: why not? Often when we talk about things to do on a project, I need to go back and hear things again, as handwritten notes are sparse and scarce and often don't mean anything when I read them. So hearing again what's been said, without calling the same people again, is saving everybody's time.

>OTOH, if there are so many of them which greet you with "the call will be recorded for quality assurance purposes" - well it's a great thing and I want to extend the courtesy in the other direction as well. How else can I assure the telemarketers of my quality?

Thank you for clarifying. I record my Skype conversations on PC using the program Total Recorder. Actually you can record anything on the PC using this program. Unfortunately they (Total Recorder) do not have a product for smart phones, iphone, ipads. I asked them via email since I would love to have such a program on my iPad.
