Would I need to buy a recording device then to go with this if I was to use it with my home phone? And can I only record certain phone conversations?

Yes. I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and use Audacity to record with it. You can record any phone conversation that you can hear.

This device will act just like a normal (external) voice recorder in your particular case. You don't have to plug it into your phone either. I have to admit that this recorder is very sensitive, so probably you will get good recording quality. But I wouldn't recommend it as voice recorder in phone mode - quality is not that good as one may expect.

Well, what I can tell you for sure concerning this device it that you won't sound like a phone recording. But what also is a factor invole when it comes to any type of recording is the equipment itself. The mic system can be top of the line but your actual recording device or system is not, then you yet are not going to get the best qoulity sound. Not saying you have to go broke to get a perfect sound. Just know that the mic along can't give you perfect sound results alone, with that system there you will notice a different in your sound recording. I hope that help some without getting too technical. ""Let's Make It A Hit Studio"

The call mynah works like a Bluetooth headset - so when you want to record a call you DO need to be talking into it. You can do this with the provided headset or directly from the device. You can still make and receive calls from your cell phone - but those you want to record you need to talk through the device . I look at the caller ID - if I want to record , I answer with call mynah if not , I answer with the cell phone.

No. In order to record messages, you must answer/call via the callmynah. Otherwise, the call will not be recordered

It has an 1/8" (3.5mm) mic level analog output. So, if you can plug a standard microphone into your digital recorder, you can use this. I've found it produces some static or hum with some phones but is flawless with others. It connects between the phone's base and its handset with standard telephone connectors, so you need a 2 piece phone that has a handset cord that disconnects from the base. It won't work with "Princess" type single piece phones or cell phones. I hope this helps.

There are numerous apps you can download for free that do voice recording. The sound quality will be about a 5 out of 10.

Use the phone on the same ear where you have the earbud. The microphone picks up your voice as well as the voice on the phone. I write for a newspaper and often record phone interviews while taking notes, either longhand or with a keyboard. Note: Many states require that you notify the person on the other end that you're recording the conversation. One more thing: Be sure to insert the plug into the "Mic" port of your recorder. If you put it in the "ear" port, only your side of the conversation will record.

Hi Andrea, I bought 2 of these, because they brake a lot. You have to connect this to a recorder. After that you put the ear piece in your ear and turn on the recorder. After that you can answer the phone. The voice coming from the phone will be recorded at the ear piece. What you say will be recorded in the other microphone from the recorder. I don't know if there is any app for this. Be aware, this recorder from philips breaks very easily.

I haven't tried it in that way (phone calls). My experience with the product has been a challenge. I purchased it to record video interviews and it recorded, but the feed for the headphones didn't seem to work. Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

This Recorder is an excellent tool for any recording, including a phone conversation. For a proper both way conversation recording, you'd need, however, a "Telephone Recording Device (TP-7)", or a newer model "Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-up Microphone", available at amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-TP-8-Telephone-Pick-up-Microphone/dp/B008AGP5EW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1362587699&sr=8-4&keywords=Telephone+Recording+Device+%28TP-7%29

This question is kind of vague... what is your adapter for? If it works between the phone and the recorder (in lieu of or performing as an external mic), then why wouldnt you be able to record a phone conversation with this?

Yes, but its not the most ideal way to use the product. You would need to get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor (from radio shack). When you plug the recorder into your cell phone it routes the audio from the phone and into the device & records the call (similar to plugging a wired headset into your phone). So you would need to still be able to hold the device up to your ear to hear the conversation (when not in speaker phone). The cell phone does not have to be in speaker phone to record the call. But putting it in speaker phone might be an easy way to record the call when using a "basic" phone with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor. Yes, but its not the most ideal way to use the product.

Hummm. Yes, but it only records audio, and the audio quality will only improve if you have a good microphone. Just connecting to your IPhone wont do much

yes, you can record your"own" message(s)! and since you can record your own; whatever language you use will be replayed. music on hold comes with the unit. PS great unit I would highly recommend this to any business!! 7 stars out of 5 (better than having a local phone install for 1000's of dollars).

Plug in the unit and the telephone cord into splitConnector that is not furnished to my knowledge.You may have issues with the recording setup and I can't help with that

You can but it will only record the voice of the person you are talking to, it will not record your voice.
