Ban a mobile going off — it's atrocious (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abominable

'atrocious' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ban a mobile going off' is the wordplay.
'going off' indicates an anagram.
'ban'+'a'+'mobile'='banamobile'
'banamobile' is an anagram of 'ABOMINABLE'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for abominable that I've seen before include "Hateful" , "Causing moral revulsion" , "Very bad, terrible" , "Atrocious" , "Odious" .)
