Passthrough means that the codec going in is the same as the codec
going out. If you configure all your phones to be g729 then you can use
passthrough. If you want to use prompts stored in something else (like
wav or gsm) you'll need a licence for that...

You said the other phone was using a different codec, hence the problem...
