Turning Phone Message into Sound File (.wav, etc)?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To convert a phone message from an Android answering machine into a sound file format such as .wav or .mp3, the message's storage location is crucial. If the message is stored locally on the device, it may be accessible as a file. However, if it resides on the provider's server, retrieval may be more complex, potentially involving NoSQL database considerations. An alternative method suggested is to play back the message and record it using an external device connected via an audio cable.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Android file storage systems
  • Familiarity with audio file formats (.wav, .mp3)
  • Basic knowledge of VOIP services
  • Experience with audio recording techniques

Hi,
Someone tried to scam me a while back and they were stupid-enough to leave a message in my Android answering machine. Question: Is there a way of turning a phone message into a .wav, .mp3 or other type of sound file? I guess it depends on whether the message is stored in my end or in the provider's server and on how it is saved: In a sort of NoSQL database, or just thrown in in memory somehow? EDIT: I tried with a VOIP service, but could not make it work.
Thanks.

Why not play it back and record with another device using an audio cable connect between devices?

Since your device is android it may the recording hidden somewhere as a file unless it was recorded elsewhere on an exchange or something.
