Yip. I work in the IT department of a real estate bank in the IFSC and we record everyones phone conversations onto a dictaphone server. Not sure how much space this eats per day, must find out.

I can understand a sales/customer service centre recording calls but the mass recording of all mobile calls is a different matter. The recording of calls between a customer/supplier is acceptable (once you are informed) as all you are discussing is your business with that firm and it can help protect both the supplier and the customer in case of disputes.

Not very much I'd say, although it obviously depends on how busy you are. Phones work at 9600Hz iirc. Add some mp3 compression in there, and you'd easily be talking about 1MB per 10 minute call. You'd get a months worth of calls on a small tape, if you took 1000 calls a day.
