The government's Communications Data Bill will effectively create a giant database of everyone in the UK's web activities, MPs and peers have heard.
The bill would force telecoms companies to store details of internet use for a year to help combat crime.

FYI: How Can I Protect My Cell Phone Data Records From Law Enforcement Subpoenas?
Our wireless carriers hand over data from millions of users per year. How can we protect ourselves?
THEY CAN SUBPOENA YOUR TEXT MESSAGES
The basic idea: you can encrypt your text messages so even if they're handed over to, you know, whoever, they won't be readable. It's password protection, really.
AES-256 security, the same basically unbreakable encryption used by Julian Assange to protect his "thermonuclear" insurance file. Both you and the recipient have to have this app installed, and the messages themselves are password-protected. This should protect you from unwanted spying from your carrier.
THE FAIL-SAFE
Drive over the Manhattan Bridge at night on a weekday. Heave your phone into the East River. Buy a beeper, and only use pay phones. Never use the same pay phone twice. Congratulations, you are safe.

I've found the TOR Browser Bundle works pretty well -- it certainly is easy to get working & use https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
Note that when using TOR, browsing will be slower because you're being routed through a number of anonymous proxies. Note also that there are a limited number of those proxy servers, so if there's a very popular site, it can sometimes get enough traffic using a single, TOR proxy server's ip, that it triggers a disconnect or even a ban.
