They can say that their phone can save the whales but it would be quite hard 
to believe. In the same way, affirming that a SIP phone with a several tens 
of milliseconds long (and varying!) delay loop, with maybe a compressing 
codec can cancel the *remote* echo is hard to believe, even considering that 
it not *supposed* to do it.

Even considering zero network delay, 20ms and small, 8ms, jitter buffers you 
have a delay loop of 56ms, which is already too much for a 256-taps echo 
canceller.... and if you add a compressing codec it will become much more 
difficult.

Network echo cancellers with tails up to 128ms do exist but I don't think 
*budget*ones have 30 MIPS of DSP capacity to implement a kind of cancellation 
they are not *supposed* to be doing.

Let's say that I am at best skeptical with regard to far-end echo cancellation 
done by IP phones.

Echo is not always a constant, it may depend on many factors you cannot 
control. For example, the phone attenuation attenuates the echo two times, 
little differences in sound attenuation can result in notable echo 
differences.

Yes. Several phones with handsfree mode have AEC, the others mute the speaker 
when detecting speech (shortcut solution :).
