A ten year old should pretty much be under adult supervision/contact pretty much most of the time, except for maybe playing in the neighborhood... No need for one. Why do people think 10 year olds need phones? If they want it for the "toy factor"? It might be time to teach them how to be a kid instead. Maybe a FRS family radio (walkie talkie) would be more useful, and quite a bit cheaper.
They will get more than enough cel time when they get to their teens, I think, and it seems like kids who are "over-connected" seem to be lacking some development that you get from just "being a kid." (Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong)
