Should little ones get their own mobile phones?

How old were you when you got yours?

If you're my generation, you probably held out for as long as you could, believing that mobiles would never catch on!

But as we bring up our kids, I don't know about you, but I'm finding that the mobile is fast becoming a vital part of parenting. I don't know what I'd do without!

But just when do you give them their own?

My guest this morning was one of the big chiefs at O2, Ben Dowd (pictured with me) and he's facing the same question. His littl'un is 7.

I think when your dad's a big cheese for one of the biggest mobile phone providers in the world, you need to have a very cool, shiny, smartphone, don't you?
