Pros
•Many cell phones allow access to the Internet, which can help a child obtain answers to questions very quickly and easily. This can help with studies
as well as other simple daily questions like daily weather or finding directions to go someplace new.
•Some cell phones have tracking devices in which a parent or guardian can track where their child is to ensure that they are safe and where they are
supposed to be at any moment.
•Cell phones can help teach children responsibility. Parents can set guidelines for their children such as staying within a certain minute or text message
range. 
•Cell phones can be a learning tool for children as they can learn a new form of technology as well as explore the Internet if the phone has the
capability to do so.
•Older children who can drive will be able to have a phone on hand in case they face any type of emergency situation on the road.

Cons
•Cheating with cell phones has become a huge issue in many schools. Students can text answers under their desks during tests.
•Cell phones are not cheap. If a child goes over the limitations on a plan, the cost can increase rapidly.
•Cell phones can be very distracting from more important events in a child’s life such as studying, doing homework, or even crossing the street.
•Sexting, sending sexual messages or pictures to another person’s cell phone, is also an issue for parents to consider before purchasing a cell phone
for their child.
•Children can also receive calls from anyone who has their number unless there are specific blocks on their phone. Parents have no way of knowing
who is saying what to their child.
