I've been told the opposite. If your call is interstate, then federal rules (one party consent) apply.

According to this page, it's not 100% clear or consistent, but the more restrictive state's laws applying is definitely a possibility: http://www.rcfp.org/can-we-tape/interstate-phone-calls
My understanding is that the most restrictive state applies, so you don't even have to be in a two-party state, you just need to be calling one.
In any case, this is why every call center you talk to says "this call may be recorded" when you first connect. It's not just a courtesy!
