The phone looked like a cheap pay-as-you-go basic call and text phone. Nothing excessively expensive like a smart phone.

The cheapest rent in this neighborhood is close to 600$/month for a slightly off the path, hole in the wall, questionable construction / neighborhood / etc. I'm paying 950$/month for a decent location, size, and other than the occasional homeless person in the building decent tenants and neighborhood. Not the greatest, but livable.
