Colleagues texting in meetings

What is the appropriate way to handle two opinionated collages that are texting each other in high level meetings?
Do you think this is disrespectful to the group and the person running the meeting?

Walk up to each and take the phone out of their hands and throw it against the wall.
Thats the way an alpha would do it.
A beta would come to the OT and ask for others opinions.

I see people on their phones at meetings a lot. However, sometimes they are looking up an email related to the meeting or calculating something related... you can't assume they are texting.

who cares? the person running the meeting is probably a bitch anyway.

I've been in several meetings where a question came up, someone texted for an answer, got it, and presented it.
And I've personally been in some where I texted someone on my team hoping for an answer and didn't get it. That could have looked like I was randomly texting the secretary I was banging.
OTOH, for all you know said colleague was daytrading.
So keep an open mind.

I've seen teachers kick people out of classes for doing the same thing. You shouldn't have to correct people in a professional setting. They wouldn't get invited into the next meeting if it were me

I don't get the issue with people using their phones in a meeting. I don't care if someone is on theirs while I'm talking. If I'm in a one on one mtg, I'll ask if they mind if I check something quickly. But at a conference room table. Don't really care.

How high level? Like district supe?

Ask them what's so important that they cannot focus on the meeting, ask them what their thoughts are to make them look uninformed as well.

At any given time, most meetings cover topics that are of no relevance to half or more of the attendees and are an enemy of getting stuff done.
Anytime I can knock out emails while they are addressing crap that is not my department, I'm doing it. I'm a big fan of leaving work on time.
And most meetings I do have sidebar text convo's with other captives.

Are they texting about work-related stuff or just bullshitting? Seems like it depends on the particular meeting and people there.

If they aren't your subordinates and it's a company only meeting, who cares? Fwiw, I send emails if the meeting has nothing to do with me.

It's probably above your pay-grade to do anything about it anyway.

only if i'm the one running the meeting.
