My cell service provider, Sprint, keeps deleting any old voicemail I have saved from a collector who is seriously violating the FDCPA by continuing to call me even though 1.) they haven't validated and 2.) I told them to do everything in writing. Sprint seems to be deleting any voicemail that is more than a month old. They are getting rid of my evidence!   is there another way to save the voicemails?

I think most voice mail services do that. I don't know if there's a way to save it or not.

Can't you forward your voice mail? Most do.

I never tried forwarding but what i have done in the past is call my voice mail from my house on speaker phone and then record with personal recorder.

Again, I would probably have to use my work phone...after hours so that nobody will hear my bizness.

I think you can connect a digital recorder to your cell; Radio Shack has a kit ...I think!

If you have to testify as to the content of the voicemails, you can tell the judge you how you wrote it down. It's not as persuasive as the actual voicemail, but it's still pretty good.

after you get the voicemail, freeze the cell phone in a block of ice.

Or would that be a misapplication of Chaudhry? It's so hard to tell these days.

Dear Dr,
I think it is time for you to come in out of the cold and thaw a bit.

Have the digital recorder set up, call your voice mail from your cell phone, play it on speaker, and record it.
