I was 22 and had just graduated from college. My parents insisted I get one because I was relocating across the country. I'm 28 now and can't believe I went so long without a phone.0

I was 32. I am 43 now. I resisted heavily. I am an iphone addict now, but I very much wish I didn't have to carry a phone for work. I miss the good old days when I left work and no one could reach me unless I wanted them to.
My son got his first cellphone at 11 - he was getting off the bus alone and walking home and there an hour before I could get home. I wanted him to call me when he stepped off the bus and talk to me until he was inside the house. Same with my daughter - she got one when she hit sixth grade and was no longer going to after school care and had to spend time home alone.0 -
I got one when I was 25. I am 36.0

I got my first cell phone at 12.
This was when cell phones were still kind of new. I had midi ringtones, for example, and they didn't have the cellphone covers. It was a gold nokia phone.
BUT my circumstances were unique. My mom gave it to me in case she was at work and my dad got too violent and I needed to call 911. He never knew about the phone. He would have killed us if he found out.
ETA: I'm 230 -
I was 11 when I first got a phone. I'm 22 now. Seems like I got mine really young from the previous posts0

My parents got me one at 16 when I got a job and a car. I'm 250

I think I was 7 or 8. It was a nokia black and white screen brick. I played snake on it.
Yes, that's young, but my parents travelled a lot, it kept me quiet playing Snake in the car, and it was already like 3rd hand. My dad worked recycling mobile phones, and it was a spare.0 -
I was 16. It was under my dad's name, but I payed the bill. I had a job (was my third job already) and by this time I already had a car payment. My dad insisted on teaching idea of 'nothing comes free,' and 'working for what you get.'
I'm 27 now.0 -
I think I was 18. I had a job so my parents wanted me to have one just in case of emergencies. I am now 25. My niece has a cell phone... She is freakin' 11.... Why?!0

My kids get one when they're 17. I got one for my 16 yr old and she only uses it when she's at school functions.
I got my first one 8? years ago when I was 32. The next day my car broke down no where near a payphone, haha.
I hated it otherwise.0 -
I was 18, my parents got it for me when I went to college so they could... idk, monitor me or something (?)... and now I'm 27.0

When I was about 10 somebody gave me their old phone to play Snake on, and I promptly lost it.
I think I was about 12/13 when I got my first "real" phone as a birthday present. It had a colour screen :happy: only one out of all my friends, I was thrilled.0 -
I think 17 or 18. I'm 28 now, and I've forgotten when my first Nokia happened.0
