(In real life) The person 'in the field' needs to be able to broadcast their audio quickly back to the studio, so they use a much lower bitrate, which gives it that sort of cellphone lower quality sound. I believe this is what you're referring to.
What can also help is equalization. You can use a high pass filter to make the voice sound more clear (used often on radio), it removes the low end bass and makes it sound more like a cellphone than a regular mic.
So what you can do as far as technology goes (both can be done very easily with something like Audacity):
Reduce your audio bitrate to maybe ~10 Kbps.
Apply a high pass filter with a cutoff around 2 KHz.
You'll also notice the person 'in the field' speaks very quickly without many pauses. Not necessarily scripted but you do need to know what you're going to say. Certain phrases like "as far as we know now", "what we know now", "we're not able to confirm that yet" are also apart of it.
