Your mobile will not work there (they do have some internal network but access is given to local rulers and their close-bys only, you cannot get on it).
But I did not see that phones were taken away nor I was even requested to show it. I think 99,99% that you will just carry your phone around with no problems. If it is too heavy than leave it at home
11 days without mobile - can you survive it?

by the way, no ATM/cash machine either in the whole country. They do accept creditcard for payment in the Strand hotel but not much elsewhere. Hard greenbucks will do it for you nicely though
