You'll still need to use the same chaffing techniques, sending occasional notes to all players with contents meaningful or not, as well as having all players send the GM notes occasionally. Otherwise the traffic analysis makes it too obvious that something secret is going on, whether that's bits of paper changing hands or beeps and boops and people looking at their phone.

This is something that's going to depend a lot on the mores of your gaming group. With the people I play with, there's enough casual phone and computer usage (during lulls in play, asides, and moments where a given PC is off-screen), to allow for pulling out a phone. Then it's just a matter of setting phones to silent.
