I can see your husband's logic, but it is misplaced. A 7/8 year old does not need a cell phone. I don't think you would be allowing you daughter to go to friends' houses or a camp that you could not trust to call you if there was a problem. My suggestion is to wait until she's 14/15 and going out places (ie - getting dropped off at the mall or the movies, etc). Otherwise, she'll just be forming an attachment to a cell phone too early in life.
