well firstly you don't say why so in the absence of doubt, before you record any conversation by law you are required to advise the other party that you are doing so, otherwise a written transcript of the conversation can only be used as a record.

The cheapo way to record is to simply put the phone on speaker phone and record it from a recordable device, thats the low tech cheapo way, some answering machines allow you to record the call.

Not strictly true.

If you are the only person who will have access to the recording and it is never given or played to anyone else then it is perfectly legal to record a conversation without informing the other party.

It is only if you intend to let a third party hear the recording that you need the consent of the other person in the call.

time honoured easy way is induction coil pickup, with rubber sucker to stick it on magnetic earpiece (you might find a small earphone stuck on with bit of tape works quite well, it's basically the same thing!).

Feed into whatever audio recording device you're using .....

I use a service called record your call which is routed through an 0871 number the only catch seems to be the call cost of about 10p a minute the web address is http://www.recordyourcall.co.uk
