NOTE

Federal laws in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom require only one-party notification, meaning that only one of the two parties on a telephone call has to know that the call is being recorded.

States that require the consent of both parties to a phone conversation are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

In the states where two-party notification is required, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has outlined the means by which such notification be given:

• Verbal or written consent must be given prior to the start of the conversation. A recorded message will suffice. It can be assumed that a caller consents if he/she stays on the line. If he does not wish to be recorded, he/she has the option of asking that the recorder be turned off, or he can hang up and contact the company through other means, such as a letter, fax, or email.

• An automatic tone, called a beep tone, that is repeated at regular intervals during the course of the conversation must be heard. The accepted norms for this tone are that it falls within the 1,260- to 1,540-hertz range, lasts between 170 and 250 milliseconds, is broadcast for both sides to hear, and occurs every 12 to 15 seconds, according to VLR Communications, a provider of the technology
