Why do you have to be a certain age to buy a mobile phone?

I was buying a phone yesterday and the man behind the desk almost didn't let me buy it.

were you alone? if so then maybe it was a bit of a costly purchase for someone your age?

@octoberthesixth Yes because I went from school. It was a lot but I had cash.
The man asked me to call my dad and he gave permission because I almost cried. He told me he wouldn't usually do that.

@Manfretthemanic yeah because you had it in cash and it was a huge amount of money for someone to carry just casually in their pocket. I'm sure it would be different if you had a bank card instead, but then again he would have questioned whose bank card it is. :D

@octoberthesixth The man said it was my age, because they need permission from an adult. But I don't know why.
