Suddenly this thought came to my mind! Have any of you made use of this great feature of voice recording to record something very essential. Like to catch someone in the act etc! I hope you know what i mean! The same could go for cam phones. Please post your experiences here.

I shafted a mobile phone company by recording what they said and told them if they took me to court i would play what they said as evidence, needless to say my contract was cancelled and the £1000 owed was reduced to £300.
Now the first thing i need to tell you is don't just go around decappitating zombies left right and center.

You know, it's illegal to record someone without their knowing. I don't know how it goes with the business, considering that they record some of their conversations, so I guess that you could record them legally. But you can't legally record a personal conversation without both parties' consent. It even says in the phone handbook.

most privacy legislation does not protect individuals from being recorded (visual or aural) in a public place. however, as discussed in this Yahoo! News article there may be moves afoot to restrict covert recording in public places. some countries (e.g Saudi Arabia) have already banned camphones to protect privacy.

as usual, however, the difference between what is legal and what is right remains debated. general rule of thumb: "if you have to think about it, you probably shouldn't be doing it".

Here is a pretty good site that provides info on recording calls in US, UK, Australia and Canada and it seems that in UK you can record a conversation without the other parties consent but only if it is for your own personal use where elsewhere generally the other parties must be informed and must agree to the recording. This can be done by simple statements to the fact that the call is being recorded.

Its interesting (if I understood correctly) that in Canada although recording without permission would be illegal it is not neccessarily automatically excluded from being produces as evidence in court!
