Modem protocols are very robust to line quality so they should work fine over a cell phone connection though if the audio is aggressively compressed you'd get a correspondingly lower bandwidth connection. I'm not sure but I think even 56K modems would negotiate all the way down to 110bps if they had to and the newer protocols were also adaptive to line quality.
