I need to record an Answering Machine greeting made by the recently and suddenly deceased wife of a friend of mine so he can keep the recording of her voice. I want to record the message on my phone and transfer it to a CD via my computer. Apparently, there are many Apps for Iphone and Android that do this but I found only one App that would do the trick on my Windows 8 phone (Nokia920) called Callcorder Pro.Callcorder Pro works by setting up a Conference call between the phone it is installed on, a PBX server and the third party. It records the conversation and sends it to your phone.
Initially I couldn't get Callcorder Pro to work at all until the exceptionally helpfull people who produce the App suggested I didn't have Conference calling on my phone. I contacted O2 who switched on ordinary Conference Calling for me (Not the Business Conference Calling whatever that is?).
Unfortunately, although Callcorder Pro would appear to be working perfectly the conversations are not being recorded and sent to my phone. Having tried everything else the excellent technical guy at Callcorder Pro has worked out that it must be the way O2 implements Conference calling in that information normally sent during Conference calls by other carriers to the PBX server is not being sent.Without said information Callcorder Pro cannot do its job.
Does anybody know a way round this or have any suggestions as to how I digitally record the Answerphone message? Is it worth me talking to a techie at O2?
Solved! Go to Solution.

If you are unable to borrow an alternative phone, or find a workaround for Windows phone, perhaps using Skype to call the number and record the Skype call on the PC. There may be a small cost for the Skype to landline call.

Thanks for your replies. I think I'll go the Skype route.
