This isn't going to work for all carriers. On mine (AT&T), calling my own number dumped me into the audio voice mail menu and didn't record. You could always try calling the person on the other line again—you'll go directly to their voice mail, certainly. They could send you the recorded "voice mail" conversation after. However, that's not something most interview subjects want to get involved in.
With this method, you don’t need a third-party app. Call the person you want to chat with, then tap the “Add Call” button on your phone’s screen. Dial your own phone number—the one you’re calling from. This will take you to your voicemail. Once your voicemail has started recording, tap the “Merge Calls” button on your screen. Now, you’ll record your phone conversation onto a voicemail message. When you’re done with the call, you can tap the share button to export it to your Mac via Airdrop, to the Voice Memos app, or transfer it via email or text message. The file is recorded as an M4A, so depending on what you want to do with it, you may need to convert it to MP3 before uploading it to other apps.

Jun 30, 2014 · Problem:Â I was approached by a customer who asked me why his iPhone 5c wouldn’t ring even though he had, what looked to be, enough signal to receive a call. Â On the caller side, the phone would ring once and then go to voicemail. Â We tested and yes, it would ring sometimes and other times it would not.
