Is it legal to record a phone call in South Carolina?

South Carolina is a one-party consent jurisdiction: because you are taking part in the call, your own consent is enough to record it. You do not need to ask the other person's permission, though telling them is still the safest practice — and if they are sitting in an all-party consent state, their state's rule applies too.

Can I use RecordableCall in South Carolina?

Yes. South Carolina is one of the 38 jurisdictions where the service is available. Dial the recording number, merge your call, and your download code arrives by SMS when you hang up.

What if the other person is in a different state?

The stricter rule governs. If anyone on the call is in an all-party consent state, get consent from every participant before recording, whatever the rule is where you are sitting.

Do I need an app to record a call in South Carolina?

No. The recording happens on the phone network rather than on your handset, so any South Carolina mobile or landline that supports three-way calling works, with no app and no internet connection.
