No, you can't speak French on your regular phone.
You most DEFINITELY need this francophone to speak it.
"J'ai deux chiens."
If I had said the above phrase on a regular phone, my house would have burned down.

you may speak any language on your phone :-)
The adjective Francophone means French-speaking. It is typically used to describe a French-speaking person. Geopolitically, it is used to refer to a person that speaks French as a first language or who self-identifies with this language group. As an adjective, it means French-speaking, whether referring to individuals, groups or places.
In a narrower sense the notion of "Francophone" reaches beyond the dictionary definition of "French language speaker". The term specifically refers to people whose cultural background is primarily associated with French language, regardless of ethnic and geographical differences. The Francophone culture beyond Europe is the legacy of the French colonial empire and the Belgian colonial empire (Congo, Burundi and Rwanda).
Mainly or partially Francophone countries include France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Haiti and the French West Indies, several countries in Africa that are former French colonies or Belgian colonies and Tahiti in the South Pacific. These countries are members of the Francophonie organization.[1]

I am not sure where you came up with this one. Francophone refers to French speaking people, it has nothing to do with communications in that respect. You can talk in any language on a regular phone---I guess it all depends if the person on the other understands the language you are speaking--- I guess they can just grunt or chuckle their acknowledgement of you speech.....
