Missing MH370: Don't read too much into ringing phones


A relative of a passenger from the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 plane uses a mobile phone at the Lido Hotel in Beijing on March 11, 2014. The accounts of some passengers on Chinese messaging tool QQ show they had been online, reports say, although the operator says that failure to shut the software down properly can give that impression.

PETALING JAYA: A tech expert dismissed the Theory of the Phantom calls, explaining that ringing phones does not lead to any conclusions.

The missing MH370 has brought about multiple speculations, as there was no distress call from the pilots was received, and search efforts to date have not yielded any conclusive results.
