For telephone, the high pass frequency can be up around 900khz. I also add a parametric spike in the audio at 1.5khz with a Q of around 7 and heavy dynamics compression. If you have access to a distortion plugin, it helps to grunge it a bit. If it is a radio, small room reverb helps. Two other tricks are to feed the signal into a headphone or a cheap computer speaker and re-record the signal with a microphone. The other more serious trick is to use a convolution reverb and an impulse response sample of a real telephone or small radio speaker. IRs of really strange shapes and speakers are out there on the web if you have access to VST plugin software and a convolution software like SIR2, Voxengo or Waves (to name a few).
