Get a newer digital cell phone and a digital cordless phone.

Analog cell phones and analog cordless phones transmit like fixed radios and this is why someone with a scanner may be able to listen in on your phone calls.

But, digital phones encrypt the signal in a way that someone cannot just listen in with a scanner.

It didn’t really come out but the balloon down in the corner is one of persons Windows XP notifications about how your virus scanner is not up to date. Doesn’t really inspire confidence… hey Newark airport… maybe you should invest in a copy of McAfee.

The FCC, Centralized Communications Commission.

You also might have a state statute against intercepting communications, but the question didn’t say what state you are in.

Answer by Wise Methis
I judge your best of starting with the community police, if there isn’t an apt community law they might refer you to state or centralized establishment.

You would need to contact the FCC at http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm . Some info though, scanners can not listen to newer digital cellular phones. The older models, made before 1994, can be modify to receive analog cellular phones. So, your motorola, HTC, iphone, LG, w/e can not be listened to by a scanner. Also, newer cordless phones such as the ones that are 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, and DECT phones can not be heard with scanners.

It is the FCC you complain to but they, nor any police will judge you. Why?

Modern digital cell phones cannot be overheard by a scanner. The cell phone compresses and sends thousands of tiny packets of information on multiple frequencies.
Your cell phone would have to be analog and at least 12 years ancient to be monitored with a scanner.

Nearly the same with your cordless hooked to your land line.
Not as many frequency changes or packets but still impossible to monitor.
If your cordless is 27 or 47 megahertz then they are ancient enough to be scanned. Persons are usually over 15 years ancient.
