At What Age Should You Get A Child A Cell Phone: The New York Times offers an interesting article that speculates at what age you should get your child a cell-phone. The article notes that most families purchase cell phones for their kids when they are between 12 and 13 years of age and suggests that the cell phone should be a pre-paid phone so kids can’t inadvertently rack up large phone bills. Another option is to purchase a cell phone like the iPhone that has parental controls.

The New York Times article is titled Johnny’s First Phone: A Guide For Parents and may be accessed via the following link:
