Phone audio

Calls are recorded at telephone quality, often with a distressed caller, background noise and a dispatcher talking over them. The timestamps on every turn make it quick to listen again to the moments that matter.

Voicemails and recorded calls

Threatening voicemails, recorded customer service calls and other phone recordings work the same way. Whether a call was lawfully recorded depends on your state's consent law.
