A VPN ("Virtual Private Network", encrypted data "tunnel") to a server on a non-blocked portion of the internet will almost always bypass ISP level blocks, assuming your ability to connect (and establish a VPN) to that server isn't in and of itself "blocked". However, that approach will come at the "price" of additional latency in the call, and also the (possibly much higher) "price" of whatever it takes to negotiate access to such a VPN server. And since most VoIP adapters don't support VPNs, you will likely also have to get a VPN enabled "router" (and put the VoIP adapter BEHIND that VPN enabled NAT router) to enable your VoIP adapter to use the VPN.
But before you investigate technical means to get around VoIP call blocks (at the ISP level), you might want to make sure it is even LEGAL to use VoIP in the country with those blocks. I'm not a lawyer, but it is my (layman's) understanding that using unauthorized (as in not authorized by the local government) VoIP can be a serious CRIMINAL offense in some countries!
Thankfully most of us (myself included) live in countries where VoIP is quite legal (and in such countries where VoIP is open/legal, blocks by the ISP are just blocks by your ISP, not a legal matter per se). And it's also true that even those countries where unlicensed/unregulated VoIP is illegal, might not want to bother enforcing the law unless you make a big pain of yourself. However, technical attempts to skirt VoIP "blocks" are often "detectable" by those controlling the internet (in those areas), even when the attempts to bypass the blocks succeed. And such attempts (if/when detected) could be seen (by some police) as clear-cut "evidence" as to your "criminal intent" (i.e. you are now actively trying to seek ways to break the law, even when counter-measures are in place).
So if I were you, I wouldn't try doing ANYTHING to get around that "block", until you have checked (with a lawyer, or other sound legal counsel) that doing so (to allow you to use VoIP) is legal in the country you wish to circumvent the "block" in. Otherwise, you may find yourself in more legal hot-water than you bargained for...
Of course, that's just my (cautious) advice on the matter. You are free to take it or leave it as you see fit.
