The Evolution of Mobile Call Recording

In Network Recording

Network based mobile voice recording means that calls and text messages can be recorded on any mobile device regardless of the operating system. No applications need to be running on the handset and calls are routed to and from the handset using a mobile switching centre with a  duplicate stream of the call sent to the mobile recording solution.

The solution is effectively tamperproof and in no way impacts the user experience with lengthy or unexplained delays during connection. Calls are then securely accessed and played back through a secure web interface or can even be integrated into the playback system of an organisations landline or CPE based recording system.

SIM-based Mobile Recording

Increasingly workers are using their mobile phones outside of the office, at meetings, during events or when they are travelling to and from their chosen destination.

With SIM-based mobile call recording you get to keep your existing number and handset, the only thing that changes is your SIM card.

There are two ways to record telephone calls on your mobile using this approach.

• The first is ‘on demand’ which gives you the option to record a call part way through your conversation.
• The second is ‘always available’ which basically means mobile recording is constantly on for all inbound and outbound calls being made. Calls are all recorded and sent to the data centre for storage and retrieval and accessed through a secure web interface.
• Compliant, supports training, governance and improves productivity
• Secure, with optional security settings that can be customised and exceed current compliance standards
• Advanced encryption makes sure only nominated individuals can access recordings
• Integrates seamlessly with existing systems
