Anyone else's 15 year old not got a phone?

As above. He just isn't interested. Neurotypical by the way and popular enough at school. Has a computer in his room so chats with friends on Discord but that's it.

I know not having any sort of phone, smart or brick, is unusual but how unusual is this?

Have they never asked for one? I don't know any secondary aged child/teen who doesn't have their own phone.

All I can say is well done and I am not being sarcastic.

Why is it well done? So odd.

I would say that’s very unusual
does he not want a basic one for emergencies?

How do you get hold of him when he's out of the house with his friends though?
