Pls don’t pick calls from d number
Two of my course mates were saved cos dey missed d call

However, there is no truth behind this,

Truth
It is an MTN NG no. For promotional messages, that’s the reason why it can’t be called.

The short code is 4900, instead of calling with 4900 which many users won’t pick up, the 08030004900 was introduced.

I myself have picked the call recently, you hear a promotional message and it’s not in any way related to the lagoon – suicide.
