phone ban
No mobiles allowed
A phone ban is a rule prohibiting mobile phone use in a particular setting—typically schools, workplaces, or public venues.
School phone bans have become increasingly common as educators debate whether devices help or harm learning: The new phone ban requires students to lock their phones in pouches during class.
Phone bans may be partial, restricting use during certain hours, or complete.
