It depends... What kind of protocol is used in her case ? 
But sincerely, SRT(C)P is/are not often seen and if it's a SIP phone, it
may use SIP & RTP only... So, using a sniffer, sox, vomit or smth else
would be sufficient to decode packets and get her credit card
information.

My coworker had an interesting question.  She had to validate her
credit card number over the phone using her social and other sensitive
information.  She has a VoIP router from her ISP.  The question: Are
the VoIP packets encrypted as they go across the wire?   Or can
someone sniffing in the right place capture all of that sensitive VoIP
traffic and reassemble her CC# and SS# from the tones? Is this
somethign that might be an issue in the future or is there already an
answer out there?
