I just got a BT freestyle 1100 phone and I am concerned about how safe it is.
Many months ago a friend of mine managed to tune in some cordless phone conversations while tuning a basic radio scanner.
As hard as I have tried to find out specifics about this phone, I can't find anything to tell me it's totally safe.

From what I can see it's analogue which I know isn't totally safe but apparently the cordless phones operating in the 900 mhz range are supposedly marginally safe since the US banned scanners that go up this high.
But you can get them from Canada quite easily.

Does anyone know if this is safe?.

I believe UK-bought scanners have no frequency restrictions. My UK-bought AOR AR8200 (mk2) didn't, and I believe it had an addendum in the manual explaining why. That scanner covers something like 630khz to 2.04ghz.
