How far can you throw it?  There are a lot of decent smartphones with 
decent cameras for under $150.  My 'refurbished' (it looks perfect) 
Pixel 2 with 128GB of memory was $114 and I'm really happy with it. 
Hubby and son got the same phones but with only 64GB of memory for $84. 
  These are GSM phones, unfortunately -- I don't think Verizon can use 
GSM.  Crap.
