Ah. Never had to go overseas. Didn't know that.
However, I have done a crapload of phone interviews. (Most interviews are done over the phone; it makes subjects more likely to say something they should/shouldn't (depending on your viewpoint).
I always had my tape recorder set up to the phone. It takes less than a minute to do it.
If the current is different and he didn't have a converter, perhaps he ran out of batteries.
