If it does not sound like voice when it leaves the phone, it will be 
massively and unpredictably distorted by the codecs.
In a call between two GSM phones, there are at least two encode/decode 
with occasionally different codecs between the microphone on one side, 
and the speaker on the other.
You cannot (usually) pick the codec.
