I need to have a record of certain voice mails I have saved on the phone. How can I save them to another location, other than writing them down word-for-word? THANK YOU

I use ACR Free call record, (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr) it records both ways of a phone call and does it automatically. It saves to a location that you want (ie sd card) all you have to do is listen to your voice mail and your phone will record the entire thing and save the recording.
its also good when it comes to phoning companies and they they back track on what they said or say they "couldnt find or they didt record that call" and insist they didn't say that in the first place, you can then send them the recording and watch them try to squirm out of it.

Or switch to Google Voice. Not only are the voicemails transcribed, but you can save it as a file.
Only if the conversation is live. Then you have to tell the other party you are recording. Voice mail is already recorded and is not really a conversation. It belongs to the recipiant.

Free?
Yes Google Voice is free and I highly recommend it as well. Works really well. I get an email when someone leaves a voice mail. I can access it from the phone or the PC. Also it transcribes the message to text (not always, and sometimes hilariously)

It is my understanding that recording conversations is not illegal as long as one of the parties knows it is happening. Therefore, you are allowed to record your own conversations with other people.
Not true. It's state dependent. Some require both parties, some do not. Again, it applies to live conversation because the wiretap laws are ancient and considers "in flight" data differently than "data at rest"
So conversation and VM are treated differently, and require different degrees of judicial oversight. Another case of laws that are hopelessly out of date!
