I have to go with what you are saying but I see no physical way that someone in a different room can hear both sides of a phone conversation if you are not using the speaker phone option and you have the volume of the call turned down. If that is happening, as you state, then I do not see anyway to stop it. You would have to get as far away from them as possible so that they could not hear you.

Just to be clear, you are saying that when you are talking on the phone that people close to you can hear both sides of the conversation even without using the speaker mode. I am not sure how that could happen as I can be within 1 foot of someone talking on their phone and I cannot hear the other person’s conversation. I guess you will just have to make sure that no one is sitting or standing close to you when you are on your phone.
