For people with Android phones, check out Orbot - https://guardianproject.info/apps/orbot/ - It's Tor for Android. It's an incredibly well polished app. If you have root, it will let you individually and transparently torify any app. If you don't have root, individual app will need to support socks proxies in order to go through Tor.

It supports bridges, and it will even let you run a relay and/or hidden service directly from your phone.

I've had this idea for a while now of building an SMS-like app that runs entirely over hidden services for users with Orbot installed. If I send you a message this way, nobody knows that you received one, that I sent one, or what the message contained, and it wouldn't require me to set up any server infrastructure as it would be entirely peer to peer over Tor.
