I had one of those Ladybug phones where the only buttons were home phone, mom/dad, and emergency when I was 10. Then I had a flip phone when I was 13. Now I have a IPhone 5 (im 16)

Exactly the same story for me. Nokia 3310 > every other phone in existence.

15 or 16? It was sometime around when I moved out and had my own place. I ended up getting some Metro phone.
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?

I was 16 or 17...can't remember. It didn't last long because the service didn't work where I lived, so I couldn't use it much anyway.

19. My parents never bought me one, so I didn't have one until I could afford it myself. Oddly enough, I worked for a cellphone company before I ever owned a cellphone. Ha...

I got mine near the end of 8th grade for my birthday (so around 14) and it was a Samsung Intensity. I still use it and the battery is just as good as it was when I got it. I love everyone's reactions when I show them I don't have a smartphone.

I'm not entirely sure, I think I was about 10. I'm positive it was this babe though

I don't quite remember why I got it so early though. I'm also pretty surprised that there is a lot of people who got their first phone so late or don't even have one. There is nothing wrong about it, I just find it unusual, since every freaking first grader has an iPhone nowadays.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

I think when I was about nine or so, I got an old one from my dad. I only used it to play games on though, and it couldn't do much other things either.

I got my sisters old Nokia when I was 9 years old, and mostly used it to play Snake.

I got my first 'new' phone when I was 10 years old. I got a pink Sony Ericsson Z310i and loved it to bits (it was that time when every single girl in my school had that phone). You could customize your theme and wallpaper, and it would flash a colorful light from it's sides when it rang. Also, it was fun swapping photos, ringtones and songs with everyone through Bluetooth (apparently we though that making the phones kiss would make the process go faster). I miss those days...

After owning three touch screen smart phones I still love that phone more than anything. My iPhone 3G recently broke so I'm using it again, and it's so much more comfortable.

I was 17, cause that is when I could afford one. I did occasionally borrow my mom's when she got one if it was a situation where she really wanted me to have one(not very often, I think only a few times). I used pay phones, and they didn't cost fucking 75cents-$1 lol. Now days it's hard to even find a freaking pay phone. I'm not that old, but I remember the first mobile phone my family had was my dads car phone he got from the company he worked for.

A few months before I turned 17. To be honest, nobody really needs a phone until they are at least 15 unless there are special circumstances.

There was no games on it. You could only call and send texts.
