Corrected entry: The close up shot of Costigan's phone reads "restricted" in the scene where Sullivan calls Costigan using Queenan's bloody cell phone. Costigan then calls back, saying, "you called me on a dead man's phone!" Amazing how he knew the call came from Queenan's cell based on a restricted number.

Correction: It's not likely Costigan would be making or receiving a lot of calls with restricted numbers. Seeing as he knew Queenan was killed, and he was in Queenan's circle, it's logical that he would assume the number was from Queenan's cell, and that it was Sullivan calling.
This correction is valid, and I will also add the fact that we see two cell phones. Judging from the look on Costigan's face when that phone rings, this was a second phone given to him by Queenan that only Queenan would have the number to.
