Jack Bonn is indeed correct. If one party knows that the conversation is being recorded, you don't need a beep tone.

No, *ALL* parties must be notified that recording is in progress, NOT just ONE party. The caller (or callee) can NOT record without either (a) former written consent of all parties, (b) verbal consent obtained at the beginning of the call, or (c) an audible tone (beep) every 15 seconds.

'C-mon people -- get some facts before you jump to conclusions!
Each of you claim the other is wrong in every message I read. Just because
*you* think you're right doesn't mean the other person in wrong.
Lynn Gold accurately described the laws of California regarding recording a
telephone conversation. I'll take a guess that Sanford Gardner looked at his
local phone book and said "wrong, wrong, wrong!!" and decided to tell us all
that LYNN WAS WRONG, and I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
jsol ACCURATELY stated that the laws vary from state to state. Why shouldn't
we have guessed this in the beginning? What other laws are *exactly* the same
in all 50 states?
I come here for information, normally this information is well researched,
quality material that I can make decisions from. Not lately.
