Practically speaking, you should get your own cell phone when you already need it. A cell phone provides important functions that even a child who is as young as 10-year-old child can already own one.

Generally though you can get it when you can pay for it yourself.
Yes, but there should be a monthly limit on how much the phone bill can be. Like 20 dollars or so.
