1) Setup a VPN of some sort to defend against traffic filtering and
blocking. Tor doesn't work with streaming audio (UDP) so it isn't an
option this case, but there are still viable VPN solutions out there
(ExpressVPN and others detailed here:

2) Use something like Ostel (https://ostel.co/) service to have an
end-to-end encryption audio and/or video call using Jitsi or CSipSimple
(Android) or Linphone (iOS/Android):

You might also try using Signal (iOS), Redphone (Android), or
SilentCircle apps for mobile, but I am not completely up to date on how
well they work at the moment.
