Old enough to drive? Old enough to have a cell phone...I don't understand the whole concept of kids needing phones. I don't think they should be allowed until they are able to get in a car and drive somewhere that they would not have access to a phone. That's when I got one, granted it was an old motorola with actual buttons and not a smartphone. My parents got it for me for emergencies if I broke down or something, and I only had a few minutes per week I could use it. That's a concept that I'm sure hasn't existed for at least 20 years now...
