Yes, please explain it to me if you would.
However, I'm going to continue to pray about it because that would be the best way, but it doesn't always work.

Ok, first what is your state;s position on this? If it's legal, go for it. If it's not, it could be a simple misdemeanor, or as in Oregon it's a felony.
Second, is your phone set up for a headset? If so it'll have a 2.5 or 3.5 mm female jack where you plug it in. Find the size of the female jack. Find the size of the microphone jack on the recorder. ANY recorder that can do external mics will work. If the jack port is the same size as the male jack for a walkman headset, it's 3.5 mm. Cell phones use 2.5 mm. Generally speaking speaker phones are ideal.
Now, go to Radio Shack. Buy a cord with double male pigtails. This allows you to go from the headset plug to the mic jack on the recorder. When recording have the volume turned up high. Experiment though, sometimes the local phone company has something in their system that when you record on their lines it'll give feedback ruining the recording and alerting the other party.
Also get adapters. A 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, and a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm. Total cost is maybe $12-15.
With cell phones it's more complicated. The gear is a lot more expensive.
I suggest that whenever you are recording without someone's consent, use digital. Non-digital recorders emit a small electro-magnetic pulse, and can be detected. Digital recorders don't have this.
How do I know this?
I used to be a reporter some years back....
