I don’t know why this never comes up with smartphones but they are doggone expensive. I don’t have one. I have a landline and it’s 30 dollars a month. I have a flip phone that is 30/mo as well, I use the net when I’m home is all. Aren’t smartphone prices like up close to 200/mo? or something?

Old enough for them to work and pay for their own cellphone bill. And they must surrender their phone at parents’ request and inspection until they’re 18.

When they can pay for it themselves.
Otherwise, kids should not have more than a flip phone to call their parents and friends.
I would say that the actual right age is when they can show the maturity to not rely on the phone for social interactions. It’s a tool and nothing more.

If under 16, give them flip phones with the ability to only connect with family and 911 - for emergencies. Block internet.

. And if your child's classmates and friends are all getting phones, won't they miss out without one? And if all their friends were taking a flying leap off a bridge....

Well, I just recently bought a Samsung. One of the pre-loaded apps was Samsung TV (I believe). After clicking to see what it was, a preview movie was playing on top and it was a scantily clad couple with the guy performing oral sex on a lady.
Think about age and a smart phone with stuff like that in mind. And btw, I immediately deleted that app.

We were poor and my friends had LOTS of stuff I didn”t I survied.
Giving a child a device that can do more than call mom and dad is child abuse.

I got my son an iPhone for his 12th birthday. He's a good kid and a straight-A student. Plus, it's convenient to me for him to have a phone.
Much to my surprise, he really doesn't spend that much time on it and often forgets it when he leaves the house.

When they start going to school. Not much choice. There are no payphones. Anymore. Besides, the smart phone gives us tracking data on where our kids are. And it is easy enough to lock some functionality down, they have to turn the phones off at school anyway.

We gave our daughter her own phone when she was 10. She’s always been smart and responsible.
Nothing magic happens when they turn 18 except that they’re emancipated adults.
Why would you buy an emancipated adult their own phone?
The only thing you should buy your 18 year old child is luggage.
