Are you sure your mobile phones support G729? Most phones have hardware
acceleration for AMR-NB and not G729, so most of the VoIP-over-WiFi
providers use that codec instead. I believe G729 would have to be
implemented in software only (without hardware assistance) and would
drain the battery fairly quickly as a result.

As other have pointed out on the list, and just in case you missed it
mod_dahdi_codec is for use with a PCI accelerator card (the TC400B)
that Digium (http://www.digium.com/) sell and will not work without
it. With that card you can get up to 120 concurrent G729A-G711 calls.

These days you can get much better performance from pure software
codecs running on Intel/AMD systems than using the above card. We
(Howler) happen to have announced a G729A codec for FreeSWITCH a
few days ago - you can get more info here:

Hope that helps.
