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.
While marketing to children under the age of thirteen is not allowed, kids are being handed parentsâ cell phones to play games and listen to music. As they get older and parents give them their first cell phones, these kids, having grown up on the Internet, will use these mobile devices for more than communications.
