Call anyone else who has Orgmee over Wi-Fi or mobile data. It costs nothing, it sounds better than a cellular call on a good connection — and Orgmee can record it directly, so you get a transcript and summary even on a phone with no built-in call recorder.
Orgmee's main way of capturing a call is to use the recorder built into your phone's dialer. That covers most Android phones — but not all of them. Some models have never shipped one, and in some countries manufacturers disable it.
If you're on one of those phones, the honest answer for a normal cellular call is that Orgmee can't record it, and it won't pretend otherwise or ask you for the Accessibility permission that Play Store policy no longer allows for this purpose.
Internet calling is the way around that. When both people have Orgmee, the call runs through the app instead of through the cellular network — and a call the app is carrying is a call the app can record, cleanly and with permission you've explicitly given.
Opening up a new way to be reached is normally how you acquire a new way to be spammed. Orgmee closes that off before it starts: "Only contacts" is the default, set under Settings → Who can call you via Orgmee. If a caller's number isn't saved in your phone, your phone never rings.
Three details make this stronger than a typical block list:
One practical note, since it affects whether this works for you: the filter needs contacts permission to compare against. If that permission isn't granted, Orgmee lets calls ring through rather than silently blocking everyone — a missing permission is a technical gap, not a decision you made, and failing the other way would be a far worse mistake than the nuisance calls it's there to stop.
If you'd rather be reachable by anyone with your number, "Anyone" is the other option. It's just not the default.
Worth being clear, because "internet calling" means different things in different apps:
Because the call travels over the internet rather than a carrier's voice network, distance stops mattering. A call between two Orgmee users in different countries costs the same as one across town — nothing beyond the data — and it still produces a transcript and a summary at the end.
Some phones never shipped a dialer recorder, and in some countries it's switched off. Internet calling is how those users get transcripts and summaries anyway — for the calls that matter most, with the people who matter most.
A co-founder, a supplier, a colleague, a contractor. Get them on Orgmee once and every call between you is free and self-documenting — a running written record of a working relationship.
International calls between Orgmee users cost nothing beyond data. And when it's a call about a parent's medication or an appointment, the summary afterwards is genuinely useful, not just a nicety.
Plenty of buildings have terrible reception and perfectly good Wi-Fi. Routing the call over the network that actually works fixes the audio and records it at the same time.
Yes — no per-minute charge, no credit to buy, no subscription. It uses your data connection, which for a typical voice call is a few megabytes.
Not over the internet. Dialling a number without Orgmee places a normal cellular call through your phone as usual — Orgmee just doesn't route that one.
No — "Only contacts" is the default. If a caller's number isn't saved in your phone, your phone doesn't ring at all, and they get a normal "busy" response rather than being told they've been filtered. The check happens on your device against your own address book, so your contact list is never uploaded anywhere. You can switch to "Anyone" in Settings if you'd rather be reachable by any number.
So your existing contacts can reach you at the number they already have, and so nobody can claim a number that isn't theirs in order to receive calls meant for someone else.
Recording is a control you operate, and whether you're obliged to tell the other person depends on the law where you both are. Many jurisdictions require it. Please read the Terms of Service — this responsibility sits with you, not with the app.
Yes, both. Quality depends on the weaker of the two connections, so a call from strong Wi-Fi to one bar of 4G will sound like one bar of 4G.
Get Orgmee, get the people you talk to most on it, and stop paying for calls that you also can't remember.
