If this happens to any of you - check your state's penal code - about a
dozen states (including Montana, Stacey) require consent of both parties
to record a telephone conversation.
Here's a couple of useful sites:

Hello, Everybody,
It is now our turn to deal with our friends at Infomatika... I read
last year's law-lib postings on the subject in the archives but they
pulled something today that I don't remember reading about. We've gone
through hanging up on them, instructing our staff not to speak with
them, sending them a letter, threatening to call the AG, then today our
Library Director received a call from them during which they played him
a "recording" of him agreeing to pay for a listing, which he never did
and would never have any reason to do since we aren't even a business.
Coincidentally, we did receive our complimentary copy of the directory
today, in which we are not listed. I plan to send it to the AG with our
complaint, but before I do I was wondering if anyone else has had
experience with them having a "recording".
Thanks for your help!
