This is an important factor in ISMS Audit in the IT/ITES industry.
Mobile jammers are not a smart or practical solution in the corporate world, as they will jam the signals of higher/authorized officials' mobile phones as well.
In my company, we used to collect mobile phones at the security desk and provide tokens to employees. The employees or visitors can collect their mobile phones when leaving. Only authorized people can use mobile phones inside the office (the list of authorized users will be on display).

A gentle reminder will always serve the purpose. If not, formulate a policy and circulate it.
You can do as said by Shri Sharma Ji if it is repetitive in nature. If you require any information about formulating the policy, please revert. I'll help you out.

I doubt very much a "gentle reminder" is going to work.
As in all such cases of activities that interfere with the normal work processes, there needs to be a very clear and unequivocal policy setting out what is and is not acceptable, and more importantly, the consequences of ignoring the policy.
You can tell people not to use their phones until you are blue in the face. IT WILL NOT WORK. Set the policy and enforce it. And make sure that everyone is bound by the policy. You cannot have rules for some and not others.
When you recruit staff, you should also mention the policy in the interview. If someone needs to chat with their friends all day on WhatsApp, they need to know that they won't be able to do that, so they will have to find a different employer who will allow them to do that, rather than do the work they are paid to do.

First, show the carrot, and if it does not work, show the stick! It depends on the kind of people you work with. The mobile phone has become a double-edged sword, a necessary evil. For those who do not require mobile phones for their day-to-day work, it is always better to keep them in their lockers while punching in. People who need to get in touch with the concerned employees at work can always be contacted through landline phones. Before the advent of mobile phones, what did humans do for communication? Let's go back to the same old technology! Concerned employees can always be notified through the normal means. Unless the management is strict, needless to say, productivity will fall drastically.
I still vividly remember my ordeal at Riyadh airport, Saudi Arabia, a few months ago. We, first-timers, almost 100 in number, comprising people from many parts of the world, stood for close to two hours waiting for our turn for immigration clearance. After the ordeal, when my turn came, it was close to midnight. I produced my passport to the Saudi employee at the immigration counter. Even before looking at my passport, I saw him browsing his mobile phone for a few minutes, and only then did he turn to me. Imagine my plight - even my boiling blood could not do anything. Being a foreigner, I could not show my anger off.

The management has to make the decision to control this type of problem. Mobiles are only allowed for seniors like managers and supervisors, not for others. The mobiles are collected from the security cabin, and a token is issued for each mobile, which is a better way for good organization. If they need to use the phone, they can go to the security cabin during their break and lunchtime.
