My son will be getting a mobile in September as he will be starting secondary school and will be getting a bus across town.He has tried to get one out of me sooner but i am not prepared to cough up for the credit until he really needs one.
Also he has very weak spelling and i hate to think what words are going to be thrown out of the predictive text when he finally gets one !:D

My son starts secondary school in sept and i have just got him a phone for xmas he is quite sensible and knows not to go silly on it . It's either get it now as a present or wait 8 months and buy him one when he starts school. so i have made it cheaper for myself .
