    I think we may have had a princess phone for a while, then a wall mounted rotary in the kitchen with a 40' cord. THAT was mobile.



    Anyone remember party lines?

    haha, But to be perfectly clear, that wasn't something posted that I miss, it was a response to another post that looked like the item pictured.

    We tried to hold off, but when my son turned 11 with his school and sports schedule it made sense, he got an iPhone for his birthday...

    I'm younger than most the guys on this forum but I got my first phone at 14. I bought it myself and paid for it with the money I made from mowing lawns and selling sodas at school.

    I would give the kid a phone when after school activities such as sports or clubs came into the picture. Or at about 12-14. That's the age where they start hanging out with their friends more and start leaving houses to hang out at places such as the mall/movies/etc. My niece recently got a cell phone and she has some pretty reasonable restrictions. Such as: no phone at the dinner table, no phone during homework, phone stays downstairs at night, phone turns off before going to bed, parents can take/look at the phone whenever they want, and when the parents call she has to pick up immediately or call back within 20 minutes with a good reason.

    The cell phone is a tool and a privilege. Also, any future phones and phone repairs are financially on the niece.
    Sticks and stones may break bones but hollow points expand on impact.

    Jusr got phones for my 14 and 11 year old boys. The wife and I anguished over the decision, but so far so good. The 14 year old is definately more responsible. Both turn their phones in at night and can only call folks in the phone book. Actually works well with sports, scouts and school to keep in contact with them.
