So brave crusader. You feel the impulse to interrupt people minding their own business on the train or at the theatre, and yet you make no mention of chastising your colleagues, who are actually being paid to give client's their attention, for answering emails and leaving for phone calls during meetings.
There's a Walter Mitty esque vibe coming from your tales of triumph and the apparent adulation of your fellow travelers/theatre goers.
Not a problem in our office. Due to very thick stone walls (converted ancient barn) and located in a dip, no mobile signals penetrate into our meeting room!
My main annoyance is clients who "read" my emails on their tiny phone screen, and either immediately forget and don't reply or do what I request, or don't read the full email and reply with a half baked answer. They're fine for quick fire short messages, i.e. text messages or twitter comments, but totally unsuitable for reading/replying lengthy technical emails.
I never take my mobile into our meeting room for a client meeting. Only occasionally if I am expecting an urgent call and I will then always ask client for his or her permission to take the call

Ahhh this is a topic near and dear to my heart. I think most of us on this site are old enough to remember the world without cell phones so we have something to compare this madness to. It's just common courtesy and not rocket science...give your undivided attention to what you are doing in the moment. It's not that hard.
