Its not about the bandwidth. Its about the quality of the voice in
occasionally lossy networks landline or mobile.

Also critically, it's about the latency introduced by the coder/ decoder and by any buffering necessary to account for variable latency in the network.

Streaming MP3 might sound really good, but it does so at the expense of lots of buffering that compensates for the variable latency of the network and associated TCP transport. Trying to use it for a phone call would not work so well, unless you're used to making phone calls to someplace well outside lunar orbit.
