I dropped my phone on the wooden bench during last nights MMdeg. Felt like a total boob.

I have to say I put my phone on vibrate because I have family members that we don't know when they will leave us and I need to know in case of an emergency and I have to leave. Other wise my phone would be on silent or off.

Bring up the dialer, hold down the pound key for a few secs. Silences most cell phones.

It IS bad form to leave the ringer on while in a properly tiled lodge. OTOH, in my lodge, ringers are often drowned out by passing trains honking, as a track runs directly behind the building.
Those trains are good to have when delivering a lecture. They have, from time to time, drowned out my errors.

Re: What do you do with your phone during lodge me

At a recent Wardens Retreat in Dallas, a Past Grand Master advised us to put all phones on vibrate. This was the result of a situation in an OES meeting where an emergency call, related to someone on the verge of death, took a long time to get through. Multiple numbers were called before there was an answer.
