Grade 9 - (14 years old) as soon as they started taking the subway to high school. Note: when I hardware upgrade my phone, it comes with a SIM card, I put that new card into my old phone and purchase a $10 pay as you go voucher to load it up. This becomes my kid's phone. They get $10/month to play with, if they need more, they need to pay for it from their own cash. Minutes roll over, so they can accumulate easily.

So far I have done this twice, my third son is in grade 8, so he is awaiting grade 9 to get his phone. My outlay at $10 per month will be only $30 for all three to have phones.
