There are both advantages and disadvantages, resulting from giving phones to kids. On the advantage side of the question, since it is important to many adults to be able to easily and rapidly reach people either for business or social reasons, it is therefore useful for kids to get used to the technology so that they will learn how to use it, early in life. The social life of kids benefits from being able to quickly and easily contact friends. And of course, phones are great in an emergency, as a quick means of calling for help.
On the disadvantage side, it is possible to spend too much time on phones, which can become a substitute for more meaningful forms of social contact. Phones can become a constant distraction. It is more important to be able to deal with people in person, than on the phone, and that too is a sill that kids need to develop. And aside from that, it is not cheap, getting another phone subscription. Not all parents can easily include those kinds of expenses in their family budget.
