You should have if the 12 year old goes anywhere. My 13 year old has had a phone for three years. When she is at the skate rink and needs to get picked up, she can call. If there is a problem, she has the ability to call. If something happened to her, the GPS could be tracked.

You can buy a prepaid phone for $9.99 and $9.00 a month. Just don't let them use it unchecked.

It depends if they are allowed out on their own yet. My daughter is 11 and has 3 months to go till she is 12 and hasn't go a cellphone yet. This is because i don't let her out with her friends yet. I think at the age of 12 you should give them one but make sure you check what you child is doing on there.

Yeah, why not? I got my phone from year 6 (11 years) going to year 7 (12 years) over the summer.
