At what age would you allow your child to have a cell phone?

My oldest wants one for her birthday she will be 11 but I’m not sure about it

They can have a cell phone since first day of school but it’ll be a flip phone ( if those still exist). Now a smartphone probably from age 12 and on.

@Younameit id compromise with my kid at 12 if she wasnt a trouble maker :)
