It is against the law to monitor cordless phone frequencies.

The Federal Communications Commission (www.fcc.gov) ruled that as of
April 1994 no radio scanners may be manufactured or imported into the
U.S. that can pick up frequencies used by cellular telephones, or that
can be readily altered to receive such frequencies. (47 CFR Part 15.37

You've got your wires crossed. Cell phones are not cordless phones.

Cell phones operated under a different part of the regulations (Part 22?)
than cordless phones which are under the license free regulations
(Part 15).

Since there are numerous part 15 devices like baby monitors and wireless
speakers that operate on the same frequencies using the same modulation
schemes as the cheaper cordless phones, there's no protection.
