Hmm....I'd think VIBRATE would be better in a theatre...no noises at all.

Some theatres and restaurants are also running the cellphone broadband
jammers which are very effective inside their buildings, I hear. Problem
solved...(c; I don't mind a cellphone ringing in a restaurant,
especially if it has a ringtone different from my ol' telephone default
Motobeeper. If there's some kind of performance going on, I think the
jammer is very appropriate. Schools all should run the jammers until the
bell rings and classes let out, turn them off so the kids can call Mom,
then jam them again as the bell rings starting the next class.

There's a whole market installing timed jammers in schools I haven't seen
addressed. Jam the bands from on-the-hour to hour + 50 minutes starting
at 0800 to 1500, or whatever the school's class schedule is. Leave the
jammer off during lunch, starting it again for the afternoon classes....
All the kids could bring their cellphones, now controlled access, to
school as they DO serve valuable functions....instead of this blanket
banning our schools do around here, which doesn't work, of course, just
drives the phones underground.
