There is no telephone effect used but from memory I think I high passed it fairly high around maybe 130 Hz.
As for the compressed, squashed sound you're hearing on the many mixes posted here, ..of the mixes I listened to, most if not all are well within what i would call normal compressed/limited levels i.e. not squashed to death.
As always when it comes to such matters we are all faced with compromising between the benefits and losses of using mix bus compression and limiting. I generally use enough compression to glue the track usually between 1 to 2 db and the k-14 metering to set my final levels limit levels. If I was mixing a full orchestra my choices would surely be different to preserve the dynamic range of the recording but on this track I was guided by similar commercial recordings of similar style tracks.
Thanks for taking time to listen and comment on my mix Ak3r
