02 5137 4070 (0251374070): Contributors report silent calls that hang up immediately and repeated robocalls despite removal requests.
Silent Calls and Robocall Reports for 02 5137 4070
Two contributors have flagged 02 5137 4070 (also written as 0251374070) for problematic calling behaviour. The reports describe a pattern of silent calls that disconnect immediately upon answering, combined with persistent robocalls that continue despite explicit removal requests from the recipient.
The number is allocated as a local service in the ACT through NetSIP Pty Ltd. The behaviour reported suggests either an automated system testing active numbers or a robocalling operation that ignores do-not-call preferences.
What Callers from 02 5137 4070 Do
One contributor reported picking up a call from 0251374070 only to have the caller hang up immediately, with no voice or message left. This type of silent call is characteristic of automated systems testing whether a number is in active use.
A second contributor experienced repeated calls from 02 5137 4070 despite explicitly requesting removal from the calling list. The contributor described the calls as robocalls, indicating an automated dialling system that does not respect do-not-call preferences or removal requests.
Report Patterns and Timing
Both reports to Reverseau came through answered calls rather than missed calls, suggesting the number is calling during times when recipients are available. The removal request mentioned by one contributor indicates this is an active, ongoing campaign rather than a one-time contact attempt.
The persistence of calls after a removal request is the distinguishing factor in these reports. Rather than ceasing contact, the automated system appears to continue its dialling pattern regardless of the contributor's stated preference.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 02 5137 4070 hang up as soon as I answer?
One contributor experienced this exact behaviour with 0251374070. Silent calls that hang up immediately are typically from automated robocall systems testing whether your number is active and monitored by a person. The system then flags active numbers for follow-up marketing or scam attempts. Do not call back, as this confirms your number to the system.
I asked to be removed but 0251374070 keeps calling - what should I do?
A contributor reported exactly this problem with 02 5137 4070. If removal requests are ignored, document the dates and times of each call, then report to the ACMA at acma.gov.au. Robocalls that persist after removal requests breach the Telecommunications (Do Not Call) Register. Block the number on your phone immediately.
Is 02 5137 4070 a scam or just spam?
The two reports for 0251374070 do not indicate financial scam activity. Instead, they describe nuisance silent calls and persistent robocalls that ignore removal requests. However, silent calls are often used by scammers to identify active numbers, so continued contact from 02 5137 4070 warrants caution and blocking.
Should I answer calls from 0251374070?
No. The reported pattern from 02 5137 4070 shows either silent disconnections or persistent robocalls. Answering confirms your number to the automated system. If you do answer accidentally, hang up immediately and block the number. Do not press any keys or try to speak to a person.
How do I block 02 5137 4070 on my phone?
Instructions vary by device. On iPhone, open the Phone app, find 0251374070 in your recent calls, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open Phone, long-press the number, and select 'Block'. After blocking 02 5137 4070, report it to the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au for additional protection.

NetSIP Pty Ltd is a telecommunications service provider. The number 02 5137 4070 is registered as a local service through this provider, but this does not mean NetSIP is responsible for the calls.
