What's the best way to get someone walking down the street reading their phone to look up? "Hey!" and "Look forward!" don't seem to work.

"Look out!" said in an alarmed voice.

Not in an attention-getting voice ("ahem"), or a polite voice ("excuse me"). An alarmed voice, a tone that strikes at the adrenals and says "Something dangerous is happening in the immediate vicinity!" Bypass the neocortex, head straight for the animal hindbrain.
