Does Wave use my real phone number?

Yes. You verify your phone number during setup and Wave displays it as your caller ID when you place calls through the app.

Can I record a call I'm already on?

Yes. Wave's bridge call feature lets you merge a recording line into an active call. This requires your carrier to support three-way calling.

Is call recording included in the free plan?

Phone call recording through Wave's dialer requires a Wave Premium subscription. The free plan includes recording via your phone's microphone for in-person conversations.

Is it legal to record phone calls?

Recording laws vary by location. Many US states allow one-party consent (you can record if you're a participant). Some states require all-party consent. Always check your local laws and inform the other party when required.

Does Wave work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. Wave's phone call recording works on both iPhone and Android. Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries sync across all your devices.

The problems you know too well

Important Calls With No Record

You hang up and immediately forget the details. Wave records both sides of the conversation so nothing gets lost.

Recording Exists, But No Transcript

Most call recorders give you audio files you never listen to again. Wave transcribes every call with speaker labels so you can read and search instead.

Clunky Setup or Three-Way Calling

Other recording apps require merging calls or complicated workarounds. Wave's built-in dialer makes it as simple as placing a normal call.
