I'm going to have to go with Jethro on this one. When I was in class
generally you were warned at the beginning of the semester. Following
that, a call during usually resulted in either being asked to leave or
being humiliated by the professor, or both. Also Neil brings up another
point in a later post, what's to keep them from just jumping on a
regular 3G network. I think this should be a non-technical issue. A
technical response is really a waste of time.

Why are you singling out iPhones?
This sounds like yet another case of technology being asked to provide a
solution to a social or political problem. And that is generally a recipe
if not for disaster, then bad feeling.
How about, and here's me just thinking completely off the top of my head
for the first idea that comes to mind... the teacher asks people to turn
their phones off?
If the request is regularly ignored, then local rules with defined
sanctions should be implemented and enforced.
