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.
When I got my kids cell phones, it was at age 11. That was the age at which they started doing things without their parents around, including taking a bus by themselves. I told them they could have the phones when they turn 12, but I gave them phones at the beginning of the school year during which they would turn 12.
