At What Age Should Kids Have Their Own Cellular Phone

My son asked for his own mobile phone when he was in first grade. We bought the cheapest Nokia phone and although it doesn't include headphones for him to listen to his favorite songs, my son was happy with it for a few months. Since he's not allowed to bring a mobile phone to school, he didn't use it for more or less two years.

Now he's in 4th grade and is asking for a new phone. I told him to use his old mobile phone. Although the casing looks old, it's still working perfectly fine. I won't spend money on something that he doesn't really need anyway.

How old is old enough to use a mobile phone anyway?

My birthday present for myself last year -a cellular phone. I wasn't planning on buying a new one but my old phone wasn't working anymore. So far, I'm happy with the phone that I chose. It's the cheapest cellular phone unit on the executive series of Nokia.

I'm not a cellular phone addict so I'm not going to replace this phone yet. I want to buy cellular phone accessories that will help me make this phone usable for years. I want a cellular phone case that automatically locks when the phone is inserted. One that's magnetic, similar to a blackberry case, but so far I haven't found one.

I'm planning to keep this phone longer that the last one. My old-doesn't-work-anymore phone was given to me by my Uncle D, his extra mobile phone, and I had that phone for 5 years.
