There have been some high profile cases of eavesdropping or wiretapping involving cellular phones in Italy recently. While this hasn't quite exploded onto the US scene yet, it isn't much of a stretch to envision some organization that would go to those lengths (think Wal-Mart or HP's little faux pas).
Of course, I mention this because there is a solution that is available to help head this off before it even becomes an issue.
Cryptophone makes a device that can encrypt all GSM traffic to and from the phone. I suspect that over the next couple years you will be hearing more about this technology and the exploitation of it.
It goes without saying that any method of communication that conveys data that is considered sensitive or personal in nature, can and will be exploited. It is only a matter of time...
