[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like a 2010 question. Today My kids don’t use phones for phones. So what age do they get a device to
Communicate with friends, take pictures, listen to music,  play games in the car on a long trip, that has a gps so I track them on the bus, and with the ability to call me (they usually text) if practice gets out early or they are “stranded” somewhere....

For us that was 6th grade for my son, and my Dd got a phone in 5th grade 2 years later.  Also, [b]We haven’t had a landline since 2012[/b].[/quote]

Don't brag about that. Every firefighter will tell you homes should have a landline. You'd be surprised at the number of people who know their home address but forget it in a fire.  If you call 911 from a landline they can trace the call much faster than if you call from a cell phone.[/quote]

We've had MagicJack since ~2012.  We pay maybe $20 per year plus a 911 fee.  It is VOIP, but the base is plugged into the router, and we have satellite phones throughout our house.  Very cheap and reliable.[/quote]
