From the title of your topic you imply that Verizon does this to every
phone call. I will wager that this was some kind of glitch in the
system and that Verizon does not record the billions of calls every
day.

I suggest you take some legal action against Verizon and let us know
how you make out.

It sounds like the son might have used 3 way calling to call both phones.
Thus, one phone gets a voicemail message of the conversation on the other
phone.
