Echo (most often) comes from hybrid circuits on PSTN lines (2 wires
<-> 4 wires transformation).

Cell phones, as well as some corporate digital phones don't go through
that kind of devices, so there is no echo generated. So, basically, no
echo cancellation required. Unfortunatly, it's impossible to know from
the caller point of view whether the call will need echo cancellation
or not.
