 I think there is some confusion on this matter..
Cordless Phones: Legal to recieve- Illegal to divulge
Cellular Phones: Illegal to recieve - Illegal to divulge
 Insofar as any "radio communications" other than "public broadcasting", It
is illegal to discuss what you have heard with any third party. This applies 
from everything from Ham radio to private companies or for that matter, 
anything "not intended" for "the general public".
 A cordless phone is considered to be a "two way radio device" and it is not 
regulated in the same manner as a cellular phone. It is Illegal to "listen" 
to 
cellular phones;in addition, it is Illegal to have a device capable of doing 
so. Scanners, for example, must be manufactured in a manner as not to recieve 
cellphones. Because of thier short and limited range, Cordless phones , have 
not been regulated in this manner and are considered to be radio 
equipment,whereas, cellular phones are considered to be a private telephone
by law, and are regulated by local government and telecommunication agencies.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions that may exist.
