How do I record or capture a voicemail greeting to a pc or other device?

There was a death in the family and this persons' voice is on their voicemail as the greeting. It's not a message that was left but is a greeting you hear when you call.

Is there a way i can capture that for someone?

Any help is appreciated.

A slight variation on what Stunna said, if you have a cell phone with bluetooth
and a pc with bluetooth, pair your cellphone to the pc using it as an audio
output, then start Audacity and call the number from your cell.

this will take a while. I can't seem to get it to record the voicemail greeting since it comes on so quick.

Yeah I thought of posting that too.

Also you could call from skype/gvoice and get a male minijack (3.5mm aka Auxillary) to male minijack cable and plug the PC audio output into the audio input (mic) and use audacity to record from the mic input if you have issues recording directly from the program. That way is pretty much guaranteed to work though you MAY get some noise in the recording, maybe.

Or you could use that cable plugged in from a cell phone directly into the audio input port on a PC and use audacity to record the sound also. Probably easier than using skype or google voice if you don't have the services setup already.

(Maximum of 10 messages for MP3 orders per customer, per telephone number, per month.)

Due to email storage capacities, firewalls, etc., some lengthy MP3 files cannot be sent. In the case of very lengthy messages (over 10 minutes recording time), our studio reserves the right to accommodate these requests on CD or cassette format only.

If you have a spam filter or firewall active on your email account, please add sales@cbwproductions.com to your accepted email list in order to successfully receive your MP3's from us.


CDs or Cassettes

CDA format-(Messages will be separate tracks on CD)

Our CD's are the same as a music CD you purchase from the store, and can be played on any CD player, computer, stereo..etc..
