FreeSWITCH, an open source soft-switch and IVR platform, have announced that they can support 16khz audio calls thus doubling the potential voice quality. They have had successful tests with a conference bridge, a pass-through SIP call and an IVR that reads RSS news feeds with the Cepstral Text-To-Speech Engine."

Voip-Info.org has a good list of business VoIP providers.
The only real advantage to adding in "unused" octaves is in order to transmit overtones. Overtones shape the sound you can hear even though they may not be hear directly. Think about it as if you were to have a G note at 120 dB playing in an octave that you couldn't hear. It would still cause all things around with a fundamental frequency that is a "G" to vibrate as well as color certain audible noises.
