I tell my son that he can call me anytime, however this is not true because of my x.

I suppose a phone that had emergency/family contact capability only is reasonable, but for the life of me I can't conceive of a situation where a 5 year old would be out of parental or adult supervision that would require them to have a cell phone for emergencies. There is NO way a kindergartner (and again I agree with Georgie, probably no child before High school) should have a cell with a truckload of minutes. I agree with Georgie in principle.
