Did you read what it says in the official Linphone application user guide at

    Getting Started

    You just downloaded Linphone on your iPhone, Android or Windows Phone 8.

    Great ! 

    But what happens now ?

    ...

    Why aren't you developing a VoIP anti blocage solution ?

    Yes VoIP blocage is something that should not exist, that's not real 
internet.
    Technically, an anti-blocage solution requires a server infrastructure that
    linphone.org cannot afford, and we don't want to fight against anybody.
    Also, there are operators that don't block VoIP in many countries.

Blocking can be done with firewall rules eg IPTABLES (or squivalent).
