Well, if you vet the OS, you can interact with people who will install same PGP based app for IM that uses some 'safe' (yeah, I know, but it is doable, upload your public key to piratebay, deal with it NSA) communication channel, carrier can do nothing (even encrypted voice calls could work if you are sure the OS/base is safe, maybe a bit of lag)
