As far as I have been able to search - DECT phones areencrypted BUT it's a weak encryption using 35 & 64 bits. It's (apparently) fairly easy to 'impersonate' a base station with other equipment - allowing calls to be monitored and/or recorded ! I'm assuming there will be future developments to counteract this weakness - otherwise it's pointless having a DECT cordless phone !
