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.
The average age that children receive their first cell phone is 11.5 years. One study even showed that 10% of 5-year-olds have a cell phone. In 2013, the number of U.S. adults that owned a cell phone exceeded 90% for the first time ever, according to the Pew Research Center. Men were more likely to own a cell phone at 93% vs. women at 88%.
