    I was talking on a cordless phone 2.4 GHZ to someone on a wired landline.
    During the conversation we both heard a sound like a phone ringing. I thought it was on their TV in background. They thought it was me, I had noTV on

    Can someone listen in to it?

    U must be super important for someone to be listening n on your calls :D Prob a crossed line coming into the house and your hearing your neighbours phone ringing.

    there are still a lot of people using cordless phones that use the frequency between 30mhz and 70mhz and these can easily be picked up by any radio scanner that can scan these low bands but I think you are safe as you are above the 2ghz band as they are digital and not easy for any scanner to pick up as the frequency is so narrow. so i'd say it was just a glitch within the telecom exchange. unless you are under garda surveillance.

    It will most likely continue until you sort it, typically it happens in bad weather. Call your phone provider and they will test the line, call on mobile not the landline.
