Call Recording abroad
Calls directly to and from mobile (Telavox) when you are abroad are not recorded. Calls directly to the user’s landline number can, therefore, be recorded even if you are abroad and answer on your mobile phone. You can also make outgoing calls via the mobile app using the VoIP calling method to also have the call recorded when being abroad(provided that the user has the Call Recording add-on and that the active profile is set to record calls).
