Hi fellow parents! Manila is such a massive city with so many people, that sometimes I think having a cellphone is a must. At what age do you think giving a cellphone to your kid is necessary?

I think it would depend on how soon your kid would be able to handle the responsibility since cellphones these days are powerful communication tools. Make sure that your child knows to use the phone only for emergencies. That way, they will also be safe from scammers sending fake texts etc.
