Nuisance Call Reports for 02 6288 5395
One contributor has reported a nuisance call from 02 6288 5395 (also written as 0262885395), a local Telstra number registered in the ACT. The caller connected, remained silent, and then hung up without explanation. This type of behaviour can be frustrating and leaves recipients uncertain about the caller's intent.
What Happened on the Call
The contributor who answered the call from 0262885395 described a simple but annoying interaction: the line connected, there was no response or greeting from the caller, and the call ended abruptly. No attempt was made to communicate or leave a voicemail. This pattern suggests either a misdial, a robocall system that disconnected after detecting a live answer, or a caller testing whether the number was active.
Caller Details and Source
02 6288 5395 is allocated as a local service number in the ACT and is currently provisioned through Telstra Limited. The fact that it's a standard local number rather than an 1300, 1800, or international line suggests it may be a legitimate business line that has been misused, spoofed, or acquired for purposes beyond its original allocation. Without additional reports, it's unclear whether this is a one-off misdial or part of a broader pattern.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 6288 5395
If 0262885395 calls you:
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail if possible, giving legitimate callers the chance to leave a message
- Do: Block the number if calls repeat or if you find them disruptive
- Do: Verify the caller independently if they claim to be from a business or organisation-hang up, look up the official contact number, and call back directly
- Don't: Return the call immediately, as this confirms your number is active and may lead to more contact
- Don't: Share personal information with unknown callers, even if they seem legitimate

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 6288 5395 a scam or legitimate business?
Based on the single report, 02 6288 5395 appears to be a nuisance hang-up call rather than a known scam operation. The number is a legitimate Telstra local service allocated in the ACT, but this doesn't guarantee the call was legitimate. If you receive a call from 0262885395 claiming to be from a specific organisation, hang up and contact that organisation directly using a number you find independently to verify.
Why would someone call and hang up?
There are several possibilities: a misdial, a robocall system that disconnects after detecting a live answer, or someone testing whether your number is active. Hang-up calls to 02 6288 5395 don't necessarily indicate malicious intent, but repeated calls should be blocked. If 0262885395 calls multiple times, it's worth reporting to ACMA.
Should I call 02 6288 5395 back?
It's generally not recommended to return calls to unknown numbers, especially if they hung up without leaving a message. Calling back confirms your number is active and reachable, which may lead to more contact. If the caller was legitimate and important, they will typically leave a voicemail or try again. If you believe 0262885395 belongs to a real business, look up their official number independently and contact them that way.
Can I block 02 6288 5395 on my phone?
Yes. Most Australian phones allow you to block numbers directly in your call settings or contacts. To block 0262885395, open your phone settings, find call blocking or spam filtering options, and add the number to your blocked list. If your phone service includes spam filtering through your provider (Telstra, Vodafone, etc.), you can also activate that feature.
Is this number spoofed or legitimate?
02 6288 5395 is a real Telstra number registered to a local service in the ACT. However, phone numbers can be spoofed, meaning a caller can make their number appear as 0262885395 even though they're calling from elsewhere. The single report does not provide enough evidence to determine whether this number is being misused or spoofed, or whether it was simply a misdial.
Where should I report this number if it calls again?
If you experience additional calls from 02 6288 5395, report to Reverseau (to help the community), ACMA at acma.gov.au (Australia's communications regulator), or the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if it's telemarketing. You can also contact Telstra directly to report that 0262885395 is being used for unwanted calls, which may help them investigate whether the line has been compromised.
