Reply #14: What are the laws regarding recording international calls?

[Alcibiades]

I mean, I think there's something where, if you record a phone call, you have to get someone's permission, but does that apply to someone in another country? After all, if the government can record any call, foreign or domestic, shouldn't I be able to record a call to which I am actually a party? Especially since solicitors routinely record calls "for training and verification purposes."

Anyway, I used to do telephone solicitation. Rather than simply hanging up, I have some fun with the caller, whether they be US or Indian or whatever. Stuff ike "No, thank you, I don't want your cheap phone service. We have the most expensive phone service on the market today, top of the line. I don't want people to think I'm cheap." I always tell both my local newspapers whenever they call that I am boycotting getting a subscription because they print editorial writers such as George Will and Chuck Krauthammer, folks who are out of touch with our times and the tenor of our community, and that I won't subscribe unless they get more liberal syndicated writers. Useless, but it makes me feel better.
