The Mail On Sunday claims the call was one of the last on Captain Zahaire Ahmed Shah's mobile phone before the ill-fated flight left the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur on March 8.
The report says investigators are looking into the incident as anyone buying a pre-paid SIM card in Malaysia is subject to an identity check to ensure mobile phone numbers can be traced to people.
In this case the SIM card used to call Captain Shah's phone was traced to a shop in Kuala Lumpur and had been purchased recently by a woman using a false identity.
