Am I allowed to use Maaser money for the filter on the phone if otherwise I don’t have money?

 

No. You may not use Maaser money for this purpose.

Explanation: Maaser money may not be used for any obligatory mitzvah. If circumstances are such that you do not have enough money to both purchase a filter and dispense Maaser, in this case you should only purchase a filter and are exempt from Maaser.
