Not with iCam, but you could maybe set up Skype on your computer to automatically answer calls with audio...then call from a 2nd Skype account on your phone. If you're using a USB camera, you could do a video call instead...and see what you'd see in iCam. In order to use your USB camera at the same time with 2 different programs (iCam and Skype), though, you'd need to install a free program called ManyCam, which clones your USB video feed.

Some IP cams, like Airlink, have a speaker jack for a mono speaker. Then can use the free SkyIPCam app on a smartphone to speak. The cams also have a built in mic and can also listen through the app. Other cams may have these features, but I only own Airlink and have tested the feature.
