Editorial Product Review:Item Description:P3 International Telephone Recorder - A lot of us regularly copy and backup valuable information in case it's ever needed in the future. We backup computer files, photocopy important documents; but what about telephone conversations? Telephone conversations contain a wealth of important details that you might need to review in the future. Thankfully P3 International has created a Telephone Recorder that makes conversation backup incredibly easy. Voice Activation Powered by 4 AA batteries (not included) Dimensions - 7.5 x 5 x 2 Weight - 1lb. Color - Black
Amazon.com Item Description:The P5085 telephone recorder from P3 International lets you record telephone conversations through both single-line and multi-line telephones. Ideal for use in interviews or for recording directions and other important information, the P5085 is able to record over eight hours of conversation using a standard 120-minute cassette. The recorder hooks up to any available RJ-11 phone jack and has a built-in speaker that lets you listen to recorded material.
Two tape speeds (4.8 cm/sec and 1.2 cm/sec) are available, while voice activated recording helps to conserve tape space. An automatic level controller helps compensate for bad connections, and power and level LEDs provide a visual indication of the recorders inputs. With manual record, play, rewind, fast-forward, stop/eject, and pause buttons, you can record, audition, and cue the tape. Four AAA batteries provide the recorder's power source. The P5085 comes backed with a six-month limited warranty.

I love this thing. it is very cool, one of the best products I own. it shuts off if your on hold and theres music-which sometimes is FOREVER, starts again when people start talking. has a bunch of settings. its great for c service issues. ive had it for years now. i bought it because i was tired of having redundent conversations w earthlink about their bogus termination fee, they were trying to scam me and i was ready to send a tape to the ceo. the conversations were clear as a bell...very clear! i would totally buy anything made by this co again. its good to back that a_ up- and this is a great product for it!

Never worked properly
As stated by another reviewer, the device turns itself off after recording for a few seconds. E-mail to the company resulted in explaining the same info in the manual i.e., how to plug in, switch settings, etc. Concludes that if that doesn't work, it must be the drive belt. I fastened the Play-Record buttons down with rubber bands, and although it tries to turn itself off (clicking away), I have managed to record conversations. Sometimes I find it taping when nothing is going on. Too much of a hassle to send back, I guess I'll keep it while I look for a more reliable machine.

P3 International Telephone recorder
It seems like it has the right idea, but the adapter for the telephone jack in the wall didn't work, and the recorder shuts off after about 90 seconds, (you can't record calls longer then 90 seconds without manually restarting the machine). Overall, it's been a hassle so far, and I'm not happy with it. I'm hoping this is only specific to the machine I got, and am hoping the company I got it from will exchange it.
UPDATE: Only after a TON of hassle from the company (who did not want to honor their exchange policy) I finally was able to get a new machine. Which has now also broken. Don't buy this product...and buyer beware if you buy from this seller.
