my big un has one shes almost 11 its only usable on wifi. i set up a phone number pay as you go but seeing as she is with us all the time i don't need to pay yet . i have full tracking software installed and am able to cut it off and see what she is looking at talking / chatting too. but i'm an it geek. when she starts big school ill look for a pay contract and then i can check shes ok...
I reuse to get our girls mobile phones. That will have to sort their social lives the old fashioned way. Too much cyber bullying and cyber perverts out there. They are 5 and 1.
of course! i'm also on standby as a joke hotline... thankfully google is great for finding kids jokes *phew*
we had something similar too and encouraged to play with them... but then when we got older we got told off for using the real thing too much

My 9 year old doesn't have a phone and I don't think we'll be considering one until he goes to secondary school. After then we will have a no phones in the bedroom rule.
