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.
Similarly, cell owners make or receive an average of 12 calls on their cells per day, which is unchanged from 2010. These results come from a nationally representative phone survey of 2,277 adults ages 18 and older conducted from April 26-May 22, 2011, including 755 cell phone interviews.
