As an aside, there is a certain kind of mentality that, upon seeing a homeless person with a phone, declares that the person isn't really homeless or doesn't actually need any assistance. Such homeless would have to be careful to keep them hidden, lest other programs get reduced because people see that these homeless people are actually wealthy.
The most extreme example of this I even came across was someone saying that refugees, escaping the Libyan civil war, were clearly fraudulent because they had phones. There's some kind of unconscious assumption that having a phone indicates a high-level of wealth.
