Why This Number Keeps Calling
Spam operations often use local numbers to increase answer rates, as people are more likely to respond to calls that appear to be from their area code. The 02 area code covers NSW, so 02 3815 7698 appears to be a local Sydney or regional NSW number, making it more likely targets will answer.
The use of multiple numbers in the same range (02 3815 xxxx) allows the caller to rotate between numbers, making it harder for people to block all attempts and harder for authorities to shut down the operation quickly. If you keep seeing calls from different numbers starting with 02 3815, block the entire range if your phone allows it.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer if 02 3815 7698 calls me?
No. The contributor who reported 0238157698 noted that calls never include voicemail messages, indicating an automated spam system. Answering confirms your number is active, which may result in more calls. Let it go to voicemail or send to voicemail directly.
Why do calls from 02 3815 7698 never leave messages?
Robocall and spam systems hang up automatically when voicemail answers because each call attempt costs money. If the call reaches a person, the system connects to a live operator or plays a recorded message. For 0238157698, the lack of voicemail suggests an automated dialler testing active numbers.
What should I do if I keep getting calls from numbers starting with 02 3815?
Block individual numbers as they appear, and register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. If your phone allows blocking by range or pattern, block calls from 02 3815 xxxx. Report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au if the calls persist.
Is 02 3815 7698 actually calling from that number?
Not necessarily. Spam callers often use number spoofing to display false caller ID information. The number 0238157698 may be spoofed, which is why the actual source of calls from 02 3815 7698 is difficult to trace. This makes reporting to authorities like ACMA important for patterns across the range.
How do I block 02 3815 7698 on my phone?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly from your call log or recent calls. Find 02 3815 7698 in your call history, tap the number, and select 'Block' or 'Block Number'. On older phones, contact your service provider to ask about barring this number.
Who should I report repeated calls from 0238157698 to?
Report to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for spam and unwanted calls, and to the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) to opt out of telemarketing. You can also contribute your experience to Reverseau to help other Australians recognise 02 3815 7698.
