There is no set age that is universally considered appropriate for a child to have a cell phone, as different families and individuals may have varying opinions on the matter. However, many experts suggest that around the age of 12 or 13 is a common time for children to start using a cell phone. It is important for parents to consider factors such as the child's level of responsibility, maturity, and need for communication before deciding when to provide them with a cell phone. Ultimately, the decision should be based on what is best for the individual child and their family.

It depends on the child and how responsible they are. At 5 years old a child may have a cell phone that is restricted ro calling family members and emergency numbers. It can asloso have location sharing on so you know where your child is at all times
I would be hesitant to put a perfect age on getting a cell phone. I would argue that your son needs a cell phone when he is going out on his own. When he is in a situation where you need to be able to contact him, but you cannot, then would be a good time to get him a cell phone. This likely will not be until he is in middle school or even high school and has more opportunity to go out socially.

What middle school age should you get a phone?
I personally didn't get a cell phone until i was 16, but times have changed. I think an appropriate age to first have a cell phone is about 13-15 yrs old. That way they have more maturity. If you think of having one before that age there are phones that have 'parental controls' on them it costs about $5-$10 more a month on your regular bill. You can see who your child calls and you can control who they can call too, its well worth it... i do know AT&T carries that option.
