Don't they simplify it? You're on the call. If you consent to recording, you've given your single-party consent. You don't need to tell the company you're calling you're recording.

You don't but if you do they'll hang up. The whole "the call may be recorded, but only by us" is rather idiotic still.

Just say it while you are on hold. They don't make any effort to ensure you hear their notification, so why should you make any effort to ensure that they hear yours?

This is possibly worse than staying silent, given you're betraying bad intent.

Yep. Them saying it may be recorded for quality purposes should be enough, your complaint using the recording is to improve the quality of service you receive.
