One must abstain from things that break the fast at the advent of true dawn, not upon hearing the (call to prayer), due to Allah’s saying: "And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night." So, if the adhan was before dawn, the fast is valid. But if it was at dawn, the fast is invalid, and a make-up fast is required, unless you believed that the muezzin was calling the adhan before its time and it turned out otherwise; in that case, the fast is not invalidated.
