== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[The Matrix]]'', the call has excellent reception - until Neo drops the phone off of a building. This, combined with how dangerous the last instruction it gave him was, leads him to be captured by the Agents.
* This is the basis of the plot of the Christopher Nolan film {{spoiler|''[[Memento (Film)|Memento]]''. Having accepted [[The Call]] from ''himself'' to find his wife's killer, Leonard's anterograde amnesia and [[Note to Self:|Notes To Self]] lead to all sorts of problems - some accidental due to his memory problems, but some deliberate due to his [[Memory Gambit]].}}
* In the movie ''White Noise'', Michael Keaton's character is able to make contact with his dead wife, who he thinks is telling him about future tragedies in order to stop them. This belief is strengthened by the fact that she says things like "go now" and "leave now" after hearing and seeing future tragedies. In this one, the Call literally has bad reception, as it turns out that {{spoiler|the wife is saying to go away from ''her'' now, and to leave her where she is, as the husband's interference in the nether realm has allowed malevolent spirits to track him down and target him.}}
* ''[[Knowing]]'': the aliens send messages regarding future disasters to earth, supposedly in order to prepare them. However if the first recipient in the movie is any indication, nobody really understood the message in and of themselves, and the people who got it just went crazy.
