Call recording is very common, both in business and for personal calls, and is growing rapidly. Literally billions of calls are recorded every year on millions of phones. A count in Google Play (aka Google Marketplace) lists over 40 apps for recording calls with close to one million total downloads. And market researchers estimate that call recording is growing by 10% - 15% per year in the markets they study.

But call recording can be really expensive. We’ve compiled over 300 products so far to record calls and most of them cost $200 and more. Some of them, incredibly enough, cost $1000 or more per phone. That’s obviously not something most people can use.

Here are three ways you can record your calls for free:

1) Use a SIP recorder. If you have a phone service like Vonage that uses SIP, you can record your calls for free using open access software you can find on the Internet. Compared to some other recording methods, SIP recording requires no special equipment. All you need is your PC, the software and a little knowledge of computer networks. Depending on the network ...
... equipment you use (your router, switch or hub), the method can be pretty simple.

2) Use Skype and one of the free recording programs available for that. Skype offers free calls to any other PC and low-cost calls to phones in the US. And there are many programs available that will record Skype calls for free.

3) Use the sound card in your computer. Most PCs come equipped with a sound card and recording software. If yours does, for just a few dollars you can buy a small tap device that lets you connect your sound card and your phone line and record calls with the recording software on the PC. While this isn’t completely free, you can do the same thing at no cost using a wire stripper to expose the wires in your phone lines, but that’s more than most people are willing to do.

While all these solutions may be useful for someone with the skills and inclination to try them, most people will choose a recording solution that may cost a few dollars, but is designed to use more easily. One new option that is available is RecordingMagic, which costs as little as $50 to start and provides professional recordings that are easy to use. RecordingMagic can work with standard analog phones, as a SIP recorder, or for other phone systems as well. And for locations - such as offices with many phones - the initial cost per phone for SIP recording can be as little as $20 per phone.

So whether you want to record all of your calls or only specific ones, you now have a wide range of choices, from systems that cost nothing to ones that cost many hundreds of dollars.
