The system you describe cannot be implemented on current cellular
phone systems in real-time.

A standard phone scrambler would be much easier to get/use/etc.

If digital cellular ever gets off the ground, real-time data encryption
via computer algorithms would become feasable.  'Til then, scrambling
will be the way to go.
