Hiya,
Nextdoor neighbours have been made grandparents.
The thing is their son and wife live in Australia. The son phoned them while they were out and left a message (land line phone) - the baby's first cry.
Of course my neighbour keeps redialing 1571 to hear repeats, but surely/hopefully there must be a way of transferring the phone call to CD for posterity??? Help appreciated.

ummm... electronic recording equipment.. you know, the type they use for phone tapping

you could get a speakerphone, turn it right up and just record it onto a tape player, pc or something.
there is probably a better way, but i cant think of a way thats cheap other than a speakerphone... unless you have phone tapping equipment laying around your house lol

just stick a normal microphone from a PC upto the telephone, and use sound recorder or audacity to record it and copy the resulting .wav to a CD.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0

Hiya,
Just a thought which might work................
Some mobile phones have a built in voice recorder so you could then record the event and then transfer it to your computer either through a cable or blue tooth.
If not a recorder on its own what about using the video software on your phone which more often than not has voice recording on it too.
Lastly another option is mp3 players with a built in voice recorder - any kids you know with one you can borrow for a bit then transfer it over again.
Hope this helps.0
