You cannot run any VOIP application with Speakout Unlimited Mobile Browsing. It violates Speakout's terms and conditions, and technically, SIP applications generally do not work when run through a proxy.
In any case, the Fongo client barely works on any 3G connection, because 3G data is not VOIP friendly.

Most certainly. In the end, I had to uninstall the Fongo Android client because it kept on fruitlessly trying to connect to Speakout UMB. The Fongo Android client is stupidly set to autostart, and it tries to connect to connections that will not work, which ties up resources, and works on killing the battery. There is no menu to disable that "feature" or even a menu on what networks it is allowed to connect to.
I had to root the phone so I could disable the Fongo autostart. I can now manually switch on the Fongo client when I know I am in the vicinity of a good quality wifi connection, and in that situation, the Fongo Android client works reasonably well. But on a 3G connection, where the latency can be a high as seconds, good luck with that.

Thanks for the tip, Bridcona. Now Fongo doesn't take over my device!

If you get DroidVPN(with UDP port 443) working on your phone, then you can get fongo and talkatone to work. Granted it's not the most reliable connection or the clearest call quality, but you can have a conversation over UMB. I didn't suffer any latency, but there's noise(static like) present in the call.
Your phone needs to have an android/linux module called tun.ko implemented in the ROM(phone's operating system). There is an app called "Tun.ko Installer" that can install tun.ko on some phones, needs ROOT access though. Check http://droidvpn.com/tun-repository.php to see if "tun.ko installer" has a tun module for you're phone first. If it does not, you'll have to check and see if there is a custom ROM for your phone that has tun or compile it yourself(can only be done on 64-bit linux for android 2.3.x and up I think).
Unfortunately looks like UMB may be coming to an end though:
