I use TotalRecall for my android cell and it works great. The paid version seems to work better for me and I believe it was only a few dollars to purchase.
At home I have an Asterisk server running PBX in a flash. I use a Linksys SPA3201 adapter for my house phones and it works beautifully. All calls made to and from my home number are automatically recorded. Since I live in Texas (one-party consent state), I consent to all the recordings.
I've been in the IT industry for 17 years. I've gotten to the point where I'm just getting burned out and have reached the maximum salary cap of where I'll ever be without a degree. Plus, I found out some time ago that all the new Microsoft certifications will start expiring. That's not cool.
As such, I took the plunge in a few years ago and started going back to school to finish my BS in mechanical engineering. I'll be done in three years (going to school part time and still working full time). I can't wait until the day when I can shift gears.
I use Asterisk at home to stop telemarketers, bill collectors (for individuals I don't know), wrong numbers, and political pollers dead in their tracks. Since I refuse to pay $4.99 extra a month to have my number unlisted (should be unlisted by default; but that's an argument for another day) I came up with this solution. I have an automated attedant in Asterisk that answers the phone and announces in order to make my house phones ring you have to dial the correct extension. The extension is some random number that I can change on a whim and I only give out to individuals I actually want to call me. Anybody else that just dials me from the phone book goes through phone tree hell before they finally get disconnected.
Problem solved.

Meh, I'm a cranky old guy and don't let strangers use my phone. The people that do use it are aware of my recordings.

I work for one of the major cable companies so mine's free anyhow :)
