I accidentally made a roaming data call from my phone using Fring, Justvoip and 3g data a couple of years ago - the accident was I thought I was using wi-fi, and because I hadn't gone through all the settings Fring swapped to the O2 access point without me noticing.
Fortunately it was only a 2 minute call, so the damage wasn't too great
This used 350k of data, so a megabyte would cover about 6 minutes. I have no idea what codec was used.
On Nokia phones with SIP, Nokia's SIP VoIP Settings program can be installed to control a wider range of settings, and I assume that selection of codec would be an option, but I haven't looked into this yet
