There comes a time when you need to record a phone call in your Android smartphone or tablet. It can be for recording a phone call while talking to a customer care executive or when you need to show proof of something. It comes very much handy when your mom is telling you a list of things to bring but, you don’t have anything to write. In that case, just record the call and listen to it again. It will also defend you when your mom will not accept that she forget to mention some things. 😛
