Should Cell Phones Be Banned in Colleges??

Cellphones shouldn't be banned in the campus. It has become one of the essential things in our day-to-day. But, I'm in favor of keeping it in the silent mode or switching it off if the situation demands. Restricting the cell phones isn't the solution since one will find one way or other to take it to the campus.

Cell Phone is a necessity. The use or abuse of it depends on the User. We all are matured enough and should have etiquette on usage of it. It is the most affordable way of getting connected with others. Blanket Ban on usage of mobile is not an appropriate solution.

Cell phones in todays world have become a need rather than a luxury...& also colleges are adopting the technology for sending sms & other info to students regarding the lecture timings & all...
So banning the cell phones is not a good idea...

According to me cellphones should not be banned because its really needed for communicating in critical situations when students meet in the public. And if camera phones are causing problems in colleges, it may be avoided in colleges . And a phone with basic needs can be allowed.
