6 is too young, but if you really want to get all technical there are adults I don't trust with cell phones.

pre-teens. i say give your kid one when he/she turns 13.

12 and under. I've seen those kids phones, though and I don't have kids, but would love for them to be able to call me.

To be honest, I think no one needs a cell phone until they're 18. Phones get kids into trouble.

Im going with 14. Not many kids need to have direct access to mom and dad before highschool hits, but if both parents work i can see one having a simple call plan as soon as they hit 7th grade.

i think there should be a max age for cell phones. Stop calling me to leave a voicemail saying you called, just text me!

(To slikwacko)
is it bad when you actually text your family more than you talk to them?

Depends on the phone. I would give my child one of those children ones from Disney now under the right circumstances.

they get a phone in 6th grade, middle school, everything happens!

-romanpower (197Q / 128A) Tue Jul 1, 2008 12:31pm

I think under 11!

10 just know you to name an age.

-Mangangali (29Q / 6759A) Tue Jul 1, 2008 10:56pm

12 and younger. I don't think it looks right for anyone under 15 to have one really, but sometimes parents need to have peace of mind.

Based on safety, If your child is out and about age shouldn't matter.

i think that as long as they're old enough to work it, they're old enough to have one. however i'd prefer my child to have one geared for kids so they can only call approved numbers.
