What is the best phone for a 12 year old?

Answer 1

Well I would suggest maybe an iPhone if they are careful and safe and maybe an htc or an android for regular people. iPhone's are good for lots, but so is android it's just apple has brainwashed you into thinking their product is the best. A 13 year old only needs music, texting, and apps, and a phone which android is good at as well. Cheaper plans from android, better quality from apple. Your choice those are my thoughts.

Answer 2

Phone just for emergencies:

AT&T F140 (AT&T)

Pantech Breeze III (AT&T)

LG Migo (Verizon Wireless)

Phones for texting, cameras, searching the web, etc:

Blackberry Bold/Curve/Torch

Samsung DoubleTime

Samsung Seek

Answer 3

"it totally depends on the person

im 12 and im in year 7 and i have an iphone not to brag but i think i am mature enough if you think your child isnt mature your probaly right give it a year or two

hope that helped"

When I was 12 I happily took whatever phone I was given. Phone = freedom. Buy what you're willing to pay for. Iphones are over priced pieces of crap.

Answer 4

"Should" is a loaded word. It could be argued that a 12 year old girl should NOT have a phone at all. If her parents decide to give her one, it's really up to them what kind she should have, but as Lindalee says ... any basic phone which gives her the capability of calling a few selected numbers (home, Mom, Dad, and the local "emergency" number such as 911) "should" be entirely sufficient.

Answer 5

An iPhone , HTC , Samsung Galaxy , Samsung Note, Nokia ,

Answer 6

A good touchscreen phone on a low cost plan would probably make him or her happy!

Answer 7

I think that 12 year old daughter should not phone because they should have it until they are 13 and up

Answer 8

There are a number of prepaid phones that are suitable for a travelling teenager. These include the Blackberry Curve 9320, Samsung Galaxy Discover, and the Nokia Lumia 520.

Answer 9

A 12 year old should have a phone that can call their parents if they have an emergency. That is enough.

Answer 10

Since it is his first phone, you should get him a simple phone. Do not get him a smartphone. This will be too much for him.
