Why does my cordless home phone pick up other conversations?

Question

For 2 days now my cordless phone (not cell phone) has been picking up other people's conversations around my apartment complex.

Answer 1

it's probably because your phone is cordless and it receives signals from other cordless phones in your apartment.

Answer 2

Those phones are set to certain channels and other people may have the same phone or are set to same channel. Find the manufacturer and find out how to re-set the channel.
