Well, partly.... If you want to get on the internet or a cellular network, those are still be surveilled. There is an app called RedPhone (available on google play) from Carnegie-Mellon University which provides symmetrical encryption of a type purported to be, for all practical purposes, uncrackable, even by the billion-dollar spooks. If your keystrokes can be read, however, decryption isn't even necessary.
