Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I received a phone call on my cell that I recognized as my in laws home number. I do not

have this number programmed in my phone nor have I ever called this number from my cell phone. I did not answer the call and it went to voicemail. When I checked my voicemail the message was a recording of myself and my friend when we were shopping the week previously. My in laws weren't anywhere near where I was at the time I was shopping and I couldn't understand how they had a recording of my private conversation. After checking with T-Mobile to verify no calls were made to my in laws, or anyone else accidently during the time this converstion was recorded, they explained I might have some sort of spyware on my cell phone. My question is - do I have any way to brign criminal charges in this matter? I still have the voicemail with the recorded conversation. Some additional info - the friend I was with does not know my in laws and did not record. Also, I am going through a divorce so I think that is the in laws motivation for doing this.

You don't file criminal charges unless you are a district attorney. Why don't you find out who did what first?

Could be "hacking." Could also be you left your cell phone on auto-answer. One time I called someone who happened to be on the "throne." You can guess the rest.
