Is mobile phones are necessary for students?

I'm sorry but kids have survive many many years without a cell phone. Don't see they need it now. Emergencies have been happening for years and years and are just now being "handled" with a cell - how was it handled before? WOrked fine then. And if they are in school most of the day which they should be, why do they need a cell phone? Sorry, in my opinion, under 18 doesn't need a phone and most over 18 don't need them, just want them cause they are cool. No one but maybe a doctor or lawyer needs to be that accessible!

Yes, I think it is necessary for students. The main character of the mobile phone is convenient, if you have a mobile phone, you can make a call to other people no matter where you are stay at. If you have some emergencies, the mobile phone is a good tool to help you to deal with the problem. The game is just a little part of the phone, you can choose a kind of mobile phone without any games to the students.
