It's common for kids to own a smartphone device before the age they start school, but that wasn't always the case. Many people in the past didn't receive their first mobile phone until they had started high school or were well into their adulthood. What was your first experience of using a mobile phone and how old were you at the time?
My first experience of using one was actually back in 2005, when I was just 6. Me and my two cousins were at our Grandparents house one afternoon and just after about 2pm, our Uncle had decided to call by completely out of the blue. He walked onto the back-patio carrying three small packages in his arms, each of which contained a new Motorola mobile inside. Anyway, it turned out that he had randomly bought me and my two cousins a new Motorola each from the shops. He walked into my Grandparents house and told them that they were for the three of us. The only time I ever used the phone was that afternoon and from what I remember, I didn't even know how to use it once I had turned it on. My Mum confiscated the phone off me as soon as I went back home later that day. I don't know what ever happened to it.
I wouldn't use a mobile phone again until I was 9, which was when my Dad started to let me play a "city building blocks" game on his Nokia. I was only allowed to play that game though and the only time I ever used my Dad's phone was if we happened to be waiting in line and he wasn't using it.
Eventually, I received my *first phone for Christmas in 2011, simply because I was starting High School a month later and I was almost 13. It was a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.
