Due to FCC regulations, Verizon Wireless does not record telephone calls that transpire on your Verizon mobile phone. Phone calls made in the past cannot be retrieved. However, by using third party software, future phone conversations are retrievable. To capture and retrieve future phone conversations, you need an application-enabled SmartPhone, such as the iPhone, BlackBerry or Android.
