Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 02 3815 5622 call and not speak?

Silent calls from 02 3815 5622 (0238155622) are typically used to verify that a phone number is active and monitored.

Is 02 3815 5622 really from Telstra?

No. One contributor received a call from 02 3815 5622 claiming Telstra affiliation, but noted the claim "seemed a bit off."
