None of my 3 have been allowed a mobile before their 12th birthday there is no need they dont go off to the other end of the country without me. Zo does use my old mobile but I monitor it and refuse to put credit on if she has used it to talk to her friends too much. Last night she used my facebook to see how many of her new friends had an account remembering they are all too young to register legally so many of them do WHY? do parents not check on them ? I know one old classmate at primary his brother had an account and he was 4. |

Are we to take it that she has started Secondary School? If that is the case, than a cheap pay-as-you-go mobile might help her street cred. She could top it up with any pocket money you give her, which will help to teach budgetting. |

dawn I don´t think you are wrong and if you are a tad older then her friends parents, it just means you are also a tad wiser. |
