I got my first cell phone in 1998. I had just graduated college and was starting a job that required a lot of travel, and I wanted a phone that I could use in emergencies and a number that I could always be reached at. I got Bell Atlantic Mobile's bare-bones minimum plan...
I think maybe 15 or so is the right age for a teenager to get a cell phone - maybe a prepaid one so the kid can't go out and run up a huge phone bill - if you run out of minutes, tough.
