Answer 1

1. They are great to have in an emergency situation. Such as if you were driving with a friend and their parent and you get in to a wreck and need to go to the ER you need to call a parent to come and sign so you can get checked.

2. If your parents need to get a hold of you they can.

3. They are better then house phones. I use my cell as a house line so no matter where I go anyone can still get ahold of me.

4. Pay phones are becoming hard to find and if you do find one the odds of it working are slim (young teen vandalize them)

5. Most people dont carry change with them. So if they do find a pay phone they would have to use a collect number. Most people do not except collect calls anymore. Some phone companies can block them from even getting to you. When I was on med hold in the air force I tried calling my husband but it would not go through we had to give autherization to them to let collect calls go through.

Think of situations that have happened to you when you did not have a cell phone. Also ask your parents about before they got a cell for other situations that they needed one.

Answer 2

To stay in contact with people (parents, friends, etc), to have in case of emergencies, and for the added extras such as listening to music, etc. Christmas is a good time to give phones because stores run lots of specials, and it's an expensive present you may not buy on your own, and also something you know the person will use for a long time, compared to a gift which may just be a waste of money in the long run.

I wonder to the above posters who said things like "I don't know why children should have cell phones" or things of the like. What makes you think this question was written by a child? She could be an adult in school asking for this from her husband for pete sake. Don't throw out useless opinions without facts. She's just looking for some help.

Answer 3

Oh I have three perfect reasons lol:
- Instead of having to buy a camera and a cell phone, you can buy a camera phone. (same for a mp3).
- It's a good way to keep in touch and communicate (safety). For example, if you want to go to the mall with your friends, instead of just asking to be picked up at 8pm to be on the safe side, or if something else happens, you can always call your parents/guardians and talk to them at the moment.
- Instead of hogging up the phone lines, some carriers have unlimited minutes, let you talk to people with the same carrier for free, or set a fav 5(t-mobile)... this helps when you parents are expecting a call and you have something important to say lol
---> Happy Holidays♥

Answer 4

1. You would always have a way to call 911 in case of an emergency.
2. Your parents would be able to contact you whenever they wanted.
3. If you and your parents got on a plan where each of you get a cell, they could cancel the home phone and save money.
HOPE YOU GET YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT!

Answer 5

In case you break down in the freezing cold you have a way to contact people without having to walk through snow
(sorry if you don't live where there is snow)

If someone ever kidnaps you your parents can track where you are(or at least your phone is) because that is possible now

So you can call your friends without taking over the houseline.

Answer 6

To keep in touch with those who you love family etc. after the holidays and not only around the holidays,((which you usually see and spend more time with around the holidays))

Because a cell phone is very handy and can be used in time of emergency.

As a source of entertainment? lol

Answer 7

So you can call people and wish them a merry christmas
so you can keep in touch with people all year round
so you can download christmas songs and listen to them on it
Because you think they are really cool
because you've been wanting one all year
because you think they are a great technological advance
You like a certain type of phone
you can't think of anything else you want
you think that it would look funky

Answer 8

1) So your mom and dad can keep up with you.
2) So you can call home when shopping to see if there is anything else needed.
3) They are great to have in an emergency.

Answer 9

Safety: you can call for help if you need it. Call people and let them know were your at and who your with. Call and let people know your running late. Also the GPS unit in the cell phone can help police find you if lost in the city or woods.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Answer 10

1. You can keep in touch with people important (mom, dad, brother, sister)
2. You have to learn responsibility by keeping you mins/text messages low and earning money to help pay for it.
3. You will learn to better communicate with people about your whereabouts and when you will be late.
