    11 years old i'm 22 now, a bright blue Alcatel one that flashed when it rang with a matching watch!, it was a present for passing my grammar school test and also re-assurance for my mum because i was just starting high-school and getting the bus on my own which i'd never done before and travelling the 6 miles to school and back every day.
    I have a little boy who's 3 now though and i wouldn't dream of letting him have one so young, but only because these days you can access the internet, go on bbm, facebook twitter etc off your phone and i don't think anyone under 16 should have access to those, although i'll see in 8 years time i'll have probably buckled after endless nagging for the lasest I phone or blackberry seems all the kids have them these days!

    I was 14. My parents brought me a phone as I was travelling lost distances on a bus everyday and had no way of informing them if something went wrong. I am 20 now.

    I am pretty sure I was in College...I don't recall having one before that...I was commuting, taking 18 credits and working full time so my parents wanted me to be able to have a way of getting a hold of someone in an emergency since I was out from 7 AM until 11 PM with school and work.

    I got my first one when I was in 5th grade so I was 11? It was only because my school was horrible and I broke my wrist playing kickball yet the school nurse said don't worry about it because it was just a sprain, yeahh frigging right! So I had it to call my parents incase something like that happened again.
    It was a giant, silver, Motorola phone. Now I'm 18 and have an HTC, how phones have advanced so fast.
