... Interestingly (Just been to Oftel's site)

Although not informing the other end of a call is not against the law in
itself, according to Perter Walker of Oftel

"Recording calls without informing callers is a breach of the licence
[Your licence to operate a telephone (even in your home) - Andy] . There
are two schools of legal thought. If you breach the licence OFTEL could
under S16 of the T Act make an order against you requring you to comply.
Failure to then comply could lead to civil action by the damaged party or
by OFTEL themselves.

The second school of thought says that failure to comply with the class
licence means that you are running an unlicensed system, which is a
criminal offence under the T Act, fine UKP5000.

In practice, you are more likely to get a warning letter from my staff,
reminding you of your obligations"
