The district I teach in (I’m at the hugh school level) has no policy, they just leave it up to us to do what we want. Makes things absolute hell. My first year I tried taking one girls phone and mom emailed me chewing me out within the hour. Decided I was done fighting that battle then and there. I let them dick around and fail if that’s what they want. I’m just upfront with them at the start of the year/semester with what’s gonna happen.

A teacher has no right to take a phone and shouldn’t. Send kid to office, call parents. Just like a school isn’t keeping the phone if I pay for it. I will get it and ensure it won’t return.

When I'm meeting with students, I don't ever say anything when they have their phone out.
If they're fricking around on their phone and miss something I said, then it's their problem. My job is to give them information and if they want to not listen during the appointment they scheduled, not my problem.
For high schoolers and college students, when it comes to phones, I think they're going to need to learn the hard way. When a teacher/professor/advisor/counselor tells them something and they don't hear it because they were dug into their phones, too bad. Next time, actually listen.

Yeah but if too many kids start failing then the parents and administrators will come for you.
Teachers cant win.
