    13 I think? I know it was my gift for being promoted to 9th grade. I'm 18 now.

    I was 22 when I got my first cell phone back in 99 it was a Motorola and about the size of your standard cordless phone LOL. I had a pager and cell phone at the same time. I'm now 35.

    15... This was in the year 2002 and because they were starting to become affordable. I used it for my mom to pick me up froom football games, the mall, etc...

    I've had a cell phone for as long as I've been working so either 12 or 13. I purchased it myself. I didn't really use it other than to call my parents to be picked up and to talk with my friends from the school I transferred from.

    I'm 20.

    I had one remarkably similar to the first phone in the pic. It was technically my dad's phone but I drove a rather unreliable van so carried that when I went out. I think I was 17; 30 now.

    Switch your motorola to a primeco phone.

    I had a prepaid TracFone for emergencies when I was 15, and didn't get a regular cell until I was 17 & paid for it myself. I'm now 27.

    When you got your first cell phone? And how old are you?

    I got my first at 17 when I had a job and could buy one. I'm 25


    I also got mine at 17 and I am 20 now.

    I remember a guy giving me his pager number and my dad was all worried because he thought it meant the guy was a drug dealer.
    That's funny...I actually DID date a drug dealer :noway:

    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 23
    This broke my heart :flowerforyou:

    I was 16, and my mom bought me a cheapie tracfone and a 10 minute time card for christmas. I had to keep up with the time if I wanted to keep the phone. I'm 25 now, and my kids will go through the same. They're not getting things just handed out to them.

    I was 11, which in retrospect was probably way too young (I'm 23 now). But my dad had just got a big promotion and desperately wanted to buy me all the stuff he couldn't before, bless his heart.

    I was the only kid in my class with one, which made me pretty "cool", whatever that means nowadays. Of course that meant I had no friends to call or text!
