      No way - kids today want instant gratification and at 9 a cell phone is just spoiling them IMO.

        I am not sure what the firefly kind is and if it is what I am about to tell you about sorry.  T here is a phone w/ 4 pre-programmed buttons and 911.  It only has 1234 and that's all you can call. This could be useful in the case of an emergency, however why would the child ever be put in the situation without an adult around?

        She could be kidnapped or something. When she is walking home from school there could be a sudden storm that hits.

        Well, if she is at the age where she is going out with her mates, then i think she should. To think if she was in danger or hurt, you and your family would have no idea! If she doesn't go out with her mates, wait until she does.

        Absolutely NOT.  A nine year old does not need to have a cell phone.  I agree with other comments, they are not responsible enough.  They're going to act cool with a phone and just end up abusing it.

          No, not really wait till 10 or 11, they will be irresponsible at 9.

          No, I dont think so. There is no reason for a 3rd or 4th grader to have a cell. I dont get one till this summer or fall when im going to middle school.

          I think a 9-year-old NEEDS a cell phone.

          Cell phones:

          • Provide Protection
          • Help in emergencies
          • Help if your lost
          That's why I've have a cell phone since I was 8 years old

            It depends.

            You can ask them why,why your sister wants to get one and your parents say no.
