I'm not certain, but I believe in VA it is legal to record a phonecall so long as one of the parties is aware of it. I dearly wish I had a copy of a phone call from a couple days ago, and if he calls back, I'd love to record it for possible legal action.

How can this be done?
 
Recording a call for legal use can be very tricky. Be sure you know what you are doing before you proceed in court with your recording. Best to use a lawyer knowledgeable in this stuff. I have never used my phone recordings for legal use but have used them for broadcast on TV shows.
Basically, you will need a court order to record the other person without his knowledge, but you can record the other person for publication and legal use by making a declaration and having the other person agree to it. I set these up in the past for clients doing conference calls and phone conference meetings. What they would do with it some day is up to them.

Recording for personal use is legal to do in most states as long as you are one party in the conversation. Be careful if the other parties are in other states. If you are not part of the conversation, that is always illegal.

I have an ap that I use on my Thunderbolt that automatically records every phone call and stores it on the SD card. but, it only records my voice, not the other party unless I manually do a switch to turn that on and it has to be in speaker phone mode.
 
Back then I had a old cordless phone with an antenna attached on the base, and when someone calls I just listen on the AM Radio frequency every conversation and used a tape recorder just for giggles, Wish they sell those old phones again but was not really reliable.
