The video shows a user receiving a phone call from '777888999' and as he clicks on the green icon to answer it, the phone explodes and then appear some visuals of a hospital. It's claimed that the reason behind this 'accident' was a suspicious call from '777888999'.
In another part of the same video, a man claims that he got a call from 777888999 but he, out of fear, didn't receive it.
We, while doing a reality check on this message, learnt that in India the existence of a nine-digit mobile number is fictitious. Though, nine-digit mobile numbers do exist in other countries but every international mobile call received in India will have pre-fixed country code with it.
"New technologies are being developed all the time but techniques through which a call can set a mobile phone on fire have not hit the mainstream," Cyber expert, Pawan Duggal, said.
"This message is nothing more than a hoax. Users are advised not to believe in such rumors," he added.
