If you are wondering whether it is the right time to buy a mobile phone for your kids, ask these questions.How much time does the child spend out of home?Quite frankly, a child would require a mobile connection only if they are away from home, and not in a place where communication is simple. For example, if they are in school, the headmaster's office will always have a connection, if they are at a friend's place, the friend's landline is always available. So, try to find out how much time the child spends at the playground, or at other places where communication is not possible.Does the child have responsibility?The cost of mobile phones has come down drastically, but it still might be a...more
