Im doing Spanish exams at the moment and im trying to come up with some impressive sentences. I think im doing OK but im a bit stuck on this.
Should it be "desde tenía trece años, tenía un movil"
It just sounds a bit wierd to me. Please let me know what you think!

Alexandria and Welcome to the SpanishDict forum 
I would simply say:
He tenido un móvil desde hace tenía trece años
= I have had a mobile since I was thirteen years old
Please be aware that in Spain the word used is móvil but in Latin America they call them (teléfono) celular
I hope that helps
Corregid mi español, por favor
