Cell phones of death: Lagos panic

More phone uncanniness: the BBC reports on a panic in Nigeria, where inhabitants fear cell phone calls:

Nigerian mobile phone users have been anxiously checking who is calling them before answering them in recent days.

A rumour has spread rapidly in the commercial capital, Lagos, that if one answers calls from certain "killer numbers" then one will die immediately.

A bit like The Ring. I'm told there's a Korean horror film also featuring evil mobile calls - anyone know that one?
EDITED TO ADD: Steve found it: The Phone (2002).

I blogged on this at Smartmobs, too.
