  1. what age ?
    I tried to diswade my granddaughter when she was 10 pah she was onit like a shot, even using the school IT wizz kid to alter settings o_O I just told her when she gets older ? N has a boyfriend to tell him to text you in Chinese so ya mother can’t read it :D also to be aware that some cars can’t stop so make sure your looking up when you reach the curb. Betty’s grandson has just reached 10 and good? Old ! Gran has given him her old I phone :rolleyes: . I tried to tell her ,he won’t need to ask for money now :D.
    What’s your advice n views ?

  3. Golly you had a tv way back then really cong :eek:. Yeh but you don’t have kids so why worry :D
     
  4. my 8 year old nephew got an ipod for christmas. he can text and make calls from it but only if he has internet access - i guess that means his use can be monitored?

    it's lovely as he's been texting me some lovely messages :) ... but mostly poop emoji's :rolleyes:

    My sister has three children and although the youngest (7) doesn't have a phone yet the other two did at ages 11 onwards and have had no issues.

    We got Kim a phone when she was 11 as her secondary school was a bus trip away but not on a general public route. We only got her a basic text and phone one at first. She was good with it as she wasn't really allowed to take a phone into school.

    Now she shows me how to use them

    Our two had them at 11 when they went to high school, the youngest is on a contract that cant go above limits so no big bills, he's nearly 14 and is asking for a better phone ! ive told him there's nothing wrong with the nokia he's got :D

  19. Very true I have one of those , it doesn’t ring as much these days and the screen is the new opaque type but if I lose it I’m guaranteed to get it back or it will self destruct after a day :D
