Children get first mobile phone at average age of eight. Eight is the average age at which children are given their first mobile phone, according to a survey. More than a third of children (35 per cent) own a mobile by the time they are that age, the charity Personal Finance Education Group (pfeg) discovered.
Younger teens were slightly more likely to get cell phones at younger ages than older teens. None of our 17 year olds got cell phones when they were 10 or younger, while 28% of 12 year olds did. There is also clearly a point in time roughly between two and four years ago when a lot kids of all ages got their first cell phone.
