How to record a call with iPhone via third party app

Google Voice is certainly a bit convoluted and only works with incoming calls. If you prefer, there are apps you can use to record outgoing iPhone calls, in a nutshell when you call. In general, most apps work much the same way – to record a call, you need to set up a 3-way conference call between your iPhone, the recording app’s recording center, and the party you’re calling.

The best option available right now for free call recording, for both incoming and outgoing calls, is an app called Rev Call Recorder. This service is completely free and has no restrictions on the number of minutes you can record. It is currently only available for iPhone, not Android. Other apps to record incoming calls than outgoing ones include TapeACall Pro (€ 10.99) and Call Recorder Pro (€ 10 for 300 minutes, then additional in-app purchases).

Call recording (recording time available through in-app purchases) works differently. It only records outgoing calls and you need to make the call directly from the app itself. But the app records iPhone calls on the device, rather than saving it to a remote server.
