in the phone 

In debt

The term originated in the Southern California poker community where lending between players would be kept track of in their respective smart phones.

As a variation, “out of the phone” is synonymous with paying off debt.
I can’t really afford to go out tonight since I’m in the phone to Josh for a pretty big number.
