No, they are not at all alike. A scanner takes digital photographs of documents and puts them into bytes for computer storage. A cordless phone is a phone.

No, a scanner is not a cordless phone and the corollary is also untrue. Cordless phones operate on a variety of frequencies with 2.4and 5.8 GHz being the most common. A scanner can pick up cordless frequencies and many now have a form of encryption that scrambles communication and makes it more secure.
