My oldest didn't get one until she moved out at the age of 19, and my youngest got one on her 17th birthday.
I didn't think either of them needed a phone when they were younger, just because the other kids had one. But then I wasn't a parent who did things for their kids because that's what others were doing. I tried to raise my girls with the motto of everyone is different and just because someone else has/does it doesn't mean you have to also.
