I tried this exact setup more than six months ago and I could not get it to
work. Perhaps my novelty handset wasn't loud enough. My couplers work with a
land line phone just fine.
It's really cool to see someone who actually got it working. I'd be interested
in knowing the make of the handset. But as John said, a direct audio connection
'should' work better. But my cell phone wouldn't allow it because a direct
connection didn't provide the load that an earpiece and mouthpiece provide so
it assumed I had plugged in a set of headphones. It was a frustrating test. I'm
sure someone with more electronics skill that I have could figure it out.
All that being said. The end result is a 300 baud connection. That was one of
the driving reasons for putting the virtual modem mode into mComm for Android.
That way I could 'Dial' into any BBS through my phone using a serial
connection. The connection speed is 19200. Of course the screen limits the
useful speed to about 600 baud.

If that works, I very much want to explore it more.

Interesting. I would have given that a low probability of working. Well if that
works you'd think a direct connect cable would be even better.
Opens up a whole new possibility for remote usage of Model Ts.
Does anyone know what would be needed for a direct to headphone jack connection?
