What is a good age to get a cell phone?

Question

What is also a good type of phone?

Answer 1

I would say around 10. However it also depends on the maturity ,and responsibility the child has shown. With so much going on nowadays with creeps going after our kids i'd rather be safe then sorry and give them a phone at 10. Make sure you go over the rules of phone use.. Being not a toy etc.  

Answer 2

Probably when you enter middle school...but you really dont NEED one. I like the alias and the ENV

Answer 3

My daughter got one when she was 8, she is now 10. She is very responsible with it, most people she calls or text are with the same company (verizon) so there are no extra charges. Unfortunately in this day and age I view it as necessary to help keep her safe. It has come in handy many times when she needed to get in touch with me.

Answer 4

I would say entering middle school.  I personally like smartphones but that is too much for an 11 year-old.  I would go with a simple phone or even pre-paid for starting.    

Answer 5

10 years old       env 2 (cell phone)   don't get motorolla
