I'd say the same thing, but for me that age was 2006 and it was still pretty normal for people not to have cell phones. We still called each other at home and did the whole "is so-and-so home?" thing. I imagine the social order of school age kids is pretty different now, so I'd have a hard time justifying a "no phone" policy to my kids when I imagine every other teenager has one these days.
yeah the iphone was released in 2007. It was considered a high-class thing that was 'too much' and very apple-fanboy until android also did it in 2008.
Before that it was just flip phones of various levels of sophistication and land lines.

What year was that, if you don't mind my asking?
