Children get first mobile phone at average age of eight. Eight is the average age at which children are given their first mobile phone, according to a survey. More than a third of children (35 per cent) own a mobile by the time they are that age, the charity Personal Finance Education Group (pfeg) discovered.
One in 10 children is given their own mobile phone at the age of five, a poll reveals today. Parents typically give youngsters a handset at 11 as they start secondary school, but 9% provide them for infants barely out of nursery. They said the main reason was the childâs safety. The price comparison site polled 1,420 parents and found childrenâs average phone bills were Â£11 a month.
