At what age should you let your child buy/have a cellphone?

Using my son's account cause he doesn't come here anymore, so he gave it to me.

I worry a lot, I worry about my kids. When they're out, I always wonder what could be happening to them. I know I should try to be optimistic, but I always look at all that could happen. I always want to contact them. I fear that if they need to talk to me, they won't be able to find a phone in time. They are 13 and 12 years old right now. I think a lot about getting them a cellphone or allowing them to save up for one, but part of me says that my kids could become addicted to the phone and have it play too big a role in their lives. So I'm asking, what age is good to give your child a cellphone?
