Yes - many people have done this (playing streams served by our RTSP server).

For this to work, the phone has to be able to to play streams using 
"rtsp://" URLs.  (Several 'smartphones' handle such URLs OK, although 
some - including Apple's iPhone - do not.)

Also, the phone's network provider needs to support access to the 
public Internet.  (Some providers d; some don't.)

Finally, of course, this will work only for media codecs that the 
phone can handle.
