Is it a smartphone, such as an iPhone or Android?
Ah, too bad. The newer smartphones have apps for that, without the need for external devices. Just trying to help.

Mine will not let me record while in conversation sucks!

try Radio Shack---they seem to have something for everything (though I personally hate going there, because of their antiquated record-keeping and slow service---but they are up on all the latest toys).

I have an old flip-phone, too---if all else fails, put it on speaker, and lay it down next to a tape recorder while you and your party are talking...
I know there are smartphone apps out there now that will let you record both sides of a conversation to the phones memory, then email the wav file to your PC.

The only problem with that is once you move the file from the original recording device odds are you can't use it in court if necessary. One of the reasons why I use a separate recorder after having to file charges against the school system here.
You can buy a Y splitter (first thing that popped up on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stereo-Y-Sp...=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item2a22ef0d16), plug it into the earphone jack that most cell phones have, run one earphone cable to your ear and another cable to the input jack for a tape recorder, and hope the mic gets your spoken part of the conversation. Clunky, but it might work for older tech.
I've found having a Y splitter has come in handy quite often. There are MP3 player versions that split the headphone jack into as many as four separate jacks so that kids can all listen to the same thing. Although from my experience they'd rather just blast it out of speakers for everyone within a few hundred yards to hear.
