Teens Are Using Cell Phones More And More

Posted by Stance Jackson

Cell phones are very different now than what they were just 3 to 5 years ago. They have become mp3 players, cameras, and even GPS devices as well as their primary use of being a telephone. These phones have mostly been targeted towards adults but now manufacturers are realizing that there is a huge market available for phones for kids as well.

Texting has become extremely popular with teenagers and manufacturers are scrambling to release phones that are easy to text with. They are quick to realize a new feature that can sell millions of phones and the texting phenomenon is one such feature. Teens need cool phones so they can be accepted in the right social circles and be part of the in crowd.

Cell phones for older teens might also have cameras, games, and even Internet access on them. However, the safest phones in the minds of their parents might be the ones that have a prepaid plan. This way the parents never have to worry about getting some outrageously high cell phone bill. Teenagers might be a bit more responsible than younger kids but, given a cell phone with no limitations, it sometimes can mean a very large bill.

There are not that many choices on the market yet for younger children. Kids that are not yet teens need phones that are very basic and have just a few features such as preprogrammed keys and maybe a GPS locator to help out the parents stress level. Of course, most of the phones for younger children have bright colors and cool designs so that they will want them.

Most of the cell phones for younger children come with prepaid minutes plans that are a must for someone so young. Many parents want their kids to have cell phones so that they will be safer but they dont want to give them access to something they can abuse. At what age a child should be given a cell phone is up to debate and has to be individually decided by each set of parents as there is no correct answer.
