Yes, testing it...

I believe it offers GSM, ilbc, ulaw and alaw...

On the version running on my nokia phone, there seems to be no obvious way
to change status...

The options on the version I have are: Wifi first, 3G/GPRS first, Wifi only,
3G/GPRS only, Always ask... So, it is possible... It does work over GPRS,
but quality is noticably lower than over Wifi...

Yes

One thing to note about fring, the device establishes a connection using
fring's proprietary protocols to fring servers, fring then establishes SIP
connections from those servers... So, even if connected to the office Wifi
connection, you could experience connectivity issues or high latency as a
result of a potentially long path involved for the traffic to travel...
