Silent Call Reports for 02 4508 4559
Three contributors have reported calls from 02 4508 4559 (also written as 0245084559), with a consistent pattern of silence when the call is answered. Two of these reports specifically describe the caller remaining silent throughout the call, while a third missed the call entirely with no voicemail left. The number is registered as a local NSW service.
Silent calls like those from 0245084559 are often associated with automated calling systems testing active numbers or potential callback scams. The lack of response when contributors pick up is the defining characteristic of these reports.
What Callers from 02 4508 4559 Do
When contributors have answered calls from 02 4508 4559, they encountered complete silence rather than a greeting or message. One contributor received two calls within an hour from this number, both with no one on the other end, forcing them to block the number due to repeated contact. Another contributor picked up to silence and hung up, while a third simply missed the incoming call with no attempt to leave a voicemail.
This silent behaviour is typical of either robocall systems checking for active phone numbers or callback scams that rely on return calls to generate revenue. The pattern of multiple calls in a short timeframe from 0245084559 suggests automated dialling rather than a one-off wrong number.
Report Patterns and Timing
Two of the three reports about 02 4508 4559 came from answered calls, with one contributor experiencing repeated contact within a single hour on 6 February 2026. The third report was a missed call on 9 March 2026. All reports describe the same issue: either silence or no voicemail message left behind.
The gap between the February reports and the March report suggests this number may have resumed activity after a period of inactivity, or may be cycling through contact attempts periodically.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 4508 4559
If 02 4508 4559 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, as this may trigger callback scam charges or confirm your number is active to a dialling system
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, hang up immediately if you answer to silence, and block the number after the first silent call
- Do: Note the date and time if calls repeat, as this helps identify patterns
Silent calls are rarely legitimate. Genuine callers will leave a voicemail or speak when you answer. Do not attempt to call back a number that called you silently, as callback scams profit from return calls to premium-rate numbers.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if I answer a call from 02 4508 4559 and hear silence?
Silence when you answer is usually a sign of an automated calling system testing whether your number is active, or a callback scam checking for working phone numbers. Three contributors reported exactly this behaviour from 02 4508 4559 (0245084559). Do not stay on the line or return the call.
Should I call back a silent call from 0245084559?
No. Calling back a number that called you silently is a common callback scam tactic. You may be charged for the return call, or the call may be logged as confirming your number is active for future scam attempts. Block 02 4508 4559 instead.
Is 02 4508 4559 a scam or just a wrong number?
The pattern from 0245084559 suggests this is not a one-off mistake. One contributor received two calls within an hour with silence both times, and another reported a separate silent call incident. Multiple contributors consistently describe silence rather than an apology or explanation, which indicates automated calling rather than human error.
Can I stop calls from 02 4508 4559?
Block the number 0245084559 immediately in your phone settings. If calls from 02 4508 4559 persist after blocking, enable 'Do Not Disturb' for unknown numbers or report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au, which has authority to investigate serial silent callers.
Why would someone call from 02 4508 4559 and not speak?
Silent calls from 0245084559 are almost always generated by automated dialling systems used by callback scams, telemarketing operations, or number-testing bots. Legitimate businesses speak when you answer. The silence itself is the red flag.
Should I report this number to Reverseau?
Yes. If you receive a call from 02 4508 4559 (0245084559), reporting it on Reverseau helps other Australians recognise the number and avoid potential scams. Three contributors have already reported silent calls from this NSW local number, and your report adds to the evidence.
