I haven't been in school for awhile, but even then, cell phones were completely outlawed by all my professors. My classes varied in size, most of the upper level classes were smaller (30ish students) but the other classes were bigger.
It was easier for the profs to make sure students didn't use their cell phones during classes/tests that had a small amount of students. For the larger classes, the prof & the TAs would walk around to make sure.
As far as texting during class, that's just plain rude. I would hope students have more common sense & manners than to do that. Then again, I know it is probably very common.
