VoiceXML (at least version 2.0 and 2.1) was not designed to be consumed by client-side browsers. The main objective of the spec was to enable server-side VoiceXML browsers to answer calls and, in response, to execute the relevant VoiceXML documents thus generating a conversation on the line.

Theoretically, one could build a mobile browser that executes VoiceXML on the client-side. The closest version to that was the custom browser built by IBM + Opera in their X+V venture. It seems that the Opera desktop browser has retained some of that functionality. Since then I have not seen any client-side implementations, let alone mobile ones.
