Yes, older cordless phones, maybe the first generation oof them,
operated around 1800 kHz, just above the MW band. The base (wall) unit
transmitted both sides of the conversation at a stronger level than the
handset, often for a couple miles or more. These phones are probably
almost all replaced by now wth the later 49 Mhz, and then the 902 Mhz
types. If there is not a lot of traffic on the 49 mHz frequency, they
can also be heard for somewhat lesser distances, but most of the 900+
Mhz phones use encryption schemes and are not listenable.

Dream on. Those boogers are a constant source of entertainment.
Unless it's called ''digital'' they aren't encryted.
