How old were you when you first got your own mobile phone?

[Coach]

When I was around 11 I got my first phone which was when I started to walk to school. It wasn't even touchscreen but it was good to have! First smartphone was a couple years later.

I was 18 when I got my first phone as I had to buy my own.

22, which was last year in fact.

My mom gave me her old phone and I don't remember which model it was, but I just upgraded to a new one this last Spring. Again, don't know which one it is, as I'm not good with phones yet and I don't pay too close attention to things like that. XD

16 and it was a cheap phone with sliding keypad. Crisp audio quality on it, but slow.

I got my first one when I was probably 11

 

[Zura]

I was 19.

 

[MarzipanDragyn]

I think I was 12, my mom got me a little flip phone to use in emergencies...
I rarely ever used it, and it's now a fancy paperweight ': D

I consider this one to be my "first" due to that, and I got it about a year ago at 20.

Wow, there’s an IPhone 3? I’m a fetus, I only know the iPhone 5 and I just thought they started it there (/ω＼) Anyways I got a phone by 6th grade I think, it was a really cheap one I think my parents got for 20 bucks. I've destroyed 2 phones and I'm in 7th grade (?◇? btw I'm 13

I was 11 when I got a cheap LG smartphone.

I got my first one when I was eight because my parents got a divorce so I could still text my dad. Because my dad had a smartphone, I got one too for WhatsApp and stuff. It was a really old iPhone (The old one from my granddad who had just recently passed away. Yeah I got the phone of someone who had just died) but it was fine and I ended up having it for three years. I only had WhatsApp on it tho (no YouTube and such) so I rarely used it lmao

16. Well it my aunties old phone and i still use it today

Around 13 I think. I was in the first 1 or 2 years of high school, so must have been then.

Was just one of those old Nokia's that didn't do much else other than ring, text and play Snake. My mum gave it me since I was out a lot and she wanted to know she could contact me/I could contact her if anything happened.

Never really used it since phones didn't do 10,000 different things then. They just rang and sent messages.

I think I was around 13 years old when I got my first phone hahaha! It was the Nokia, and oh man were those strong LOL! I always had a flip phone or a really old phone since I never used my phone besides calling or texting my parents. I think I finally got a phone upgrade when I was out of high school LOL Now I use my phone too much ; v ;

 

[Wildtown]

technically i got one when i was 12..

 

[meo]

Pretty young. Possibly 10. I walked home alone a lot and did some after school functions. So, it was more so there was always a way to call for help if needed.

 

[seliph]

i was in grade 7 or 8 im pretty sure, it was one of those slidey samsung ones with the full keyboards

 

[LunarMako]

I was 19,20 I think. When I finally got a full time job. I didn't grow up in a household where all the kids could have their own phones by their 13th birthday. It was all up to me to get my own when I could afford one. It's a struggle sometimes to pay the bill as is. That's adulthood though. Usually in some sort of dept. Haha.

 

[Dim]

20 years old... looool....

 

[Valzed]

I was in my late 20s and it was a flip phone. I guess that was about 20 years ago now. Wow... I am old.
