Personally, I think a child should get a cell phone when they start staying after school in middle school, and high school.
I personally think whenever your parents buy you one honestly.. Because if they buy you one at a young age that means you're mature enough to have one or at least they think you are. If they don't buy you one, then you're a child and you don't deserve one. If you're making your OWN money and have the money to get yourself one then good for you go do that..(:
you should get your child a cell phone at age ten.
I think eleven or twelve is a good age for a cell phone.
I think a child should defiantly have a cell phone by the time they are in secondary school. Ten or Eleven would be a good age...
when they are mature enough to take care of one and when they can walk home aloit depends.here are a few questions you might want to ask yourself:is the child responsible enough for a cell phone?can you trust the child.
Currently 75 percent of children aged 12 to 17 have a cell phone. There is no one right age to buy a child a cell phone and it is totally dependent on the child and the parent.
Any parent (or other family member) may purchase a cell phone for their child, when the child has proven him/herself responsible enough to use it.
I would be hesitant to put a perfect age on getting a cell phone. I would argue that your son needs a cell phone when he is going out on his own. When he is in a situation where you need to be able to contact him, but you cannot, then would be a good time to get him a cell phone. This likely will not be until he is in middle school or even high school and has more opportunity to go out socially.
A mobile phone should be given to a child when is 11 or over!
You should give your child a cell phone that can only call Mom & Dad and 911 to prevent them from misusing it, or their friends sending them inappropriate texts or pictures. Most cell phone companies have these special phones to protect your children. In terms of when you should give your child the phone, with the special phone I have discussed above, you could give your child a phone at a very young age, perhaps 3rd grade. I think it kind of depends on the maturity level of the kid. But when i see elementary school kids with cell phones, i think its riduculous. 3rd grade is WAAAYYY too young to give your child a cell phone. I would say maybe 7th grade or when they turn 13. I'd say 6th grade.
Generally the child should be old enough to comprehend the goods and bads of society. I would say around the age of 12 or 13.
Children should get their own phones at age 11-13.
i think a kid should get a cellphone at the age of thirteen.
