My kids have tablets with a data plan. They can already do everything (within apps we approve for download) except make an actual phone call. We video chat with them via Google meet when we need to talk more urgently than text. It reverts to audio only if reception is low.
My oldest is about to get an actual phone but I'm tempted to just move his sim instead of upgrading the line and dramatically increasing my bill.
Am I really retarded for resisting the upgrade?

Swap the sim, can always upgrade later.

Depends on the age of your oldest, their maturity and how internet savvy they are. I think there are programs or phones that only allow for children’s phones to call parents or other family numbers. Not sure, though worth investigating. :)

If your carrier allows you to do that, then do it. He can always hotspot to the phone. He won't need an actual phone number until he gets a job that needs one. Bear market should be over by then.

Screen time can hinder physical development, consider outdoor activities to promote overall health.
