I have one of those handsets, and somewhere in the basement, a Radio Shack
acoustic modem, so I could actually try it.

I expect it would work, but would suffer from a lot of line noise because of
how modern telephony works.

My network routes calls via UMTS, not VoLTE.  I've never done a VoLTE call,
so perhaps it would be better.
