I got my cell phone when I went into middle school when I was 10. It is different for everybody, though. Maybe you are going into middle school, but you don`t have a phone. It`s not because your parents don`t love you! Your parents will get you a cell phone when they think you need one/are mature enough for one.

There is no real age you need to be to buy a cell phone by itself. However to activate the phone with service from a cell phone carrier, you need to sign a contract which in most cases requires you to be 18 years old. There may be an age limit from your parents but you are legally allowed to have a cell phone under the age of 18 with a legal parent or guardian signature on the contract

The appropriate age depends on the child. If they get good grades, do their chores, have a basic knowledge of cell phone safety,etc. they are probably responsible and mature enough for a cell phone.

12 years of age

Generally around 12-14 years of age a parent will decide its necessary or acceptable for a person to get a cellphone. If you are old then this it is your choice to decide if you need a cellphone, but if you are under 18 years of age but older then 14 years of age generally your parents should allow you to have a cellphone for socialization. If your parents suggest strongly that you should not have a cellphone when your under the age of 13 you should probably listen to them because your only in gr 8 or 9 and you still don't need one. If you are 13 and over you should try to reason with your parents to explain them all the reasons you could possibly need one or you can try to make a deal such as "I will not use my cellphone for unimportant reasons".
