Silent Calls and Robocall Reports for 02 4918 9826

The number 02 4918 9826 (also written as 0249189826) has generated seven community reports with a mixed pattern of activity. Three reports describe nuisance silent calls and hang-ups, two reports confirm legitimate Telstra contact regarding asset defects, one report describes a robocall with a recorded message, and one report flags suspicious contact claiming to be from Manly Skiff Club. The presence of both legitimate and problematic activity suggests this Telstra-allocated NSW number may be used for multiple purposes or potentially compromised.

The most concerning pattern involves silent calls from 0249189826. Contributors report receiving multiple calls in quick succession with immediate disconnection upon being answered. One contributor received three separate calls from 02 4918 9826 in a single day, each disconnecting within seconds without any spoken message. Another report describes two calls within a minute, both hanging up quickly after a few rings with no voicemail left.

Robocall Activity from 02 4918 9826

A contributor who received missed calls from 02 4918 9826 attempted to call back from a private home phone and received a recorded message stating "field officer tried to contact you" before the line disconnected. This robocall pattern is consistent with automated callback scams where the caller's own return call triggers a pre-recorded message designed to appear legitimate. The contributor appropriately did not engage further with the number.

Legitimate Telstra Contact Mixed with Suspicious Activity

Two contributors confirmed receiving legitimate calls from 02 4918 9826 related to Telstra asset defect reports they had previously lodged. One call came through in December 2024 following an asset defect report, and another in February 2026 regarding a damaged pit report. These legitimate interactions suggest the number is genuinely associated with Telstra NSW operations. However, the presence of silent calls and robocall activity on the same number raises questions about whether the line is being misused or has been compromised for scam purposes.

One contributor also reported receiving two calls from 02 4918 9826 claiming to be from Manly Skiff Club, which the contributor suspected was fraudulent. This diverges from the Telstra asset defect pattern and adds another layer of confusion to the number's use.

Call Patterns and Timing

Silent calls from 0249189826 have been reported across different time windows, including early morning hours (1:17 AM and 1:01 AM) and daytime calls (6:34 AM). The multiple hang-ups within short timeframes suggest automated dialling rather than intentional contact. Contributors receiving calls from 02 4918 9826 during these varied hours indicate no single predictable calling pattern, consistent with robocall or automated systems that operate continuously.
