it is no longer news that about 70% Nigerian is using a mobile phone,kudos to the regime that allow mobile phones in this country because it has realy help alot.But my question is "how old would you allow your female child to get before you allow her to start using phone"

when she's in senior high school.

When she know the important of phone.

When she is still in primary school, but it will be on nokia torchlight in case of emergencies

I guess u can't put a figure, it all depends on each child. Some kids become responsible and trustworthy earlier than others. To me as long and she/he show some sense of responsibility and does majority of right things.

OP, why does your question only focuses on female kids. A child is a child irrespective of gender. Male children tend to experiment with pornographic material, so why do u think they don't deserve an age restriction.
Your sexist approach is sickening and disgusting.

That was not your question.

Don't boys equally have relationships as well?? Do boys have dogs as girlfriends?? Stop being sexiest, because girls get pregnant by boys, not girls or dogs.

A child is a child regardless of the gender. A childs conduct and sense of responsibility should somehow determine the luxuries that a child gets not gender.
I will always reward a well behaved child who majority of the times wear his best behavior even out of my sight.

Laptop to do schoolworks is basic necessity, todays kids use computer at school anyways. But an expensive cellphone, tablet etc, to me are all luxuries that should be rewarded because of good behavior or conduct regardless of gender of the child.

Personally, I will buy all my kids basic phones to always be in contact with them for their safety and constant communication with them while they are out of my sight. But I will reward my kids expensively ( cellphone upgrades, tablet upgrade etc ) to encourage good behavior and responsibility. At the same time I will teach them to earn whatever they have.
