Because of this, call recorder apps use a recording line. There always has to be a three-way call to enable recording capabilities. Here are some apps that can help you:
REKK
On the App Store, it is the only call recording app that you can download and use for free if you want to record calls to other REKK users. However, the calls to landline and mobile phone numbers require a subscription.
REKK is easy to use — it contains detailed instructions on the call recording process. The recording quality is pretty high.
TapeACall Pro
TapeACall creates a three-way call between you, the caller you want to record, and the company’s service. When you’re done speaking, the recordings are available in the app. You then get a link to access your recordings privately on the web, or to share via email, text, or social media. Or you can simply download your recording to your computer or upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive, or other cloud storage.

The call recording apps mentioned above might be enough for personal use, however, if you’re looking for a call recording tool that can be used in business, you need something more professional like Salestrail.

Besides recording your calls, Salestrail also automatically auto-logs all call data and you’ll get data on call performance, such as call duration, call type, numbers called. Call recordings can be shared between team members in your organisation as well. Sales management has never been so simple, you don’t have to come to every agent to ask for their call reports and recording files anymore, everything is now in one place - the call analytics dashboard.
