It's not always clear. Some grammarians categorize them differently than others do. Azar, for example, considers these verb + preposition combinations: Look at, believe in, and pay for are clearly verb + preposition combinations. And these as phrasal verbs, with particles: Wake up, turn on and take out are clearly verb + particle combinations. But there are many combinations that are more difficult to categorize.
