Recording a cell phone conversation

I have a phone call coming in on Wednesday, it would be nice to be able to record both sides of the conversation without the other person knowing. It's with a company regarding the toxicology info about recall food.

What I have is: cell phone - built in voice recorder is only 1 min long, voice mail but I can't remember if/how to do it & how long I can record a conversation without the other person knowing, then I would have to get it from the vm box to the comp

I have a headset for the phone w/earpiece & microphone but once you plug it in you can't hear/talk into the actual phone it all funnels through the headset (doesn't fit in the computer's jack)

My phone has speaker phone function but I find you never hear the other person clearly or they can't hear you loud enough

My laptop has Windows Voice Recorder, and built-in microphone & speakers, I have headphones for the computer (doesn't fit in the phone's jack)

I know how to use the voice recorder to record sound coming from the computer (ie music playing on comp) and it will record sound from me talking/from the room so it will record my side of the conversation but..

how to get the other side of the convo???

any ideas without spending any money??

Growler, being the technology twit that I am, I don't have a clue how to help you.

So, I'm just bumping this up cuz I'm sure someone else here will give you some advise.

One of my co-workers told me she went to The Source (previously Radio Shack) and bought a gaget that she plugs in that records calls. She uses it for our Education Sessions.

Said it wasn't expensive.

Yep, I have one that I bought at Radio Shack (or whatever it is now) .. it's pretty cheap, and it works decently - but you might have to turn up the volume on your phone pretty high to get decent levels - and there might be some fuzzy background noise..

(FYI I'm not a super sleuth, or anything - I needed it for one of my broadcasting classes )
