What Is The Appropriate Age For Using Mobile Phone? by seyizee(m): 6:56pm On Jan 07, 2011
putting into recognition the nature of our society and its adverse effect in all ramifications on everybody including the young innocent ones,when is the ripe age for a child to start using a mobile phone considering its importance and its inevitable shortcomings especially on a gil child?.

when they have the need for one.
if that child is often away from home (other than school/family) then there may be a need to contact him/her to know about their whereabouts. . . . . . . .  .so a mobile phone may be the best option unless you always know where they are (family/friends etc)

Dearest MA j blige
Am sourcing for opinions of tried and tested minds,future oriented fellows,incisive calculative minds to mention but few.People of esteem value who knows that there lies ahead of them a task in their quest of training able leaders of tomorrow.
My dear,it is not compulsory that you contribute to a topic you deem to mature to comprehend, Instead you can continue to bask in the euphoria of I TOO KNOW.

Depends on the age of the child, you can buy a mobile which the child can only call certain numbers, and receive calls from certain numbers,

@OP,especially on a girl child? Meaning what? @Topic,Depends on the child and whether they'll be able to maintain it. It also depends on whether they go to school far away from home or something.

I agree with Mr.BrownJay answer and I would also like to add that I think if the child is at fairly responsible mature-like level to be trusted with a mobile phone.

On the contrary, I find this post very relevant.
I have witnessed first hand the dangers of not restricting the use of mobile phones and making it open to all.
I think as soon as they acquire some level of maturity
