When the need rises I guess, having a smartphone is basicly required to function today for kids and young adults. Assuming that all your kids friends are local and they meet up regularly get them a phone when their 15 or older.
But for most kids 12yo and older need a phone to function outside at all, since most kids don't make friends with the neighbors kid, especially in cities.
