>you can get a decent phone for under $150.

A smart phone? If so please provide a link. The "cheap" smart phones I have found are $300 ish, which ins't terrible, but this general trend towards a $1,000 smart phone is insane. I am not spending more for a phone than the cost of a decent laptop.

I'm very happy with my Moto G5, and it's $150 on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/Generation-XT1680-Single-Factory-Unlo...

(I got the 3GB version for €119 thanks to a sale, but the 2GB should be more than enough for what you're planning)
