cell phone ban
No mobiles allowed
A cell phone ban is a policy prohibiting or restricting mobile phone use in a particular setting.
Schools implement cell phone bans to reduce distraction and improve focus: The district's cell phone ban requires students to keep devices in lockers.
Bans also appear in theaters, hospitals, courtrooms, and while driving.
The phrase implies an official rule rather than informal discouragement.
