Uncertain Activity Reported for 02 7245 8301
A single contributor has flagged 02 7245 8301 (also written as 0272458301) for unexpected contact. The contributor's phone blocked what appeared to be a spam call from this number, yet subsequently received a text message from 0272458301 despite the initial call being filtered.
The number is allocated as a local service through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in New South Wales. The pattern of blocked calls followed by SMS contact may indicate either automated contact attempts or manual follow-up from the same source.
What Happened with 02 7245 8301
The contributor reported that their phone's spam filter intercepted a call attempt from 02 7245 8301. Rather than ending contact there, the same number (0272458301) then sent an unsolicited text message. This two-channel contact approach is worth noting, as it suggests deliberate persistence rather than a single misdirected call.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7245 8301
If you receive calls from 02 7245 8301 that you did not expect or request, consider blocking the number on your device. Most modern smartphones allow you to add numbers to a blocked list directly from the call log or recent calls screen. If your phone offers a spam filter similar to the one that intercepted the original call in this report, ensure it is enabled.
Do not return calls to numbers you do not recognise, as this may confirm your number as active and lead to further contact attempts.
What to Do If You Receive an SMS from 02 7245 8301
If you receive a text message from 0272458301, do not click any links or reply to the message. Report the SMS as spam using your phone's built-in reporting feature. On most Australian networks, you can forward unwanted SMS messages to 0429 999 888 for ACMA reporting.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would 02 7245 8301 send an SMS after a blocked call?
The contributor's experience suggests that whoever called from 02 7245 8301 (or an automated system associated with 0272458301) attempted a second contact method after the initial call was blocked. This can happen with persistent telemarketing or automated contact campaigns that cycle through different channels to reach a number.
Should I be concerned about a single report for 0272458301?
One report is limited evidence of widespread problematic behaviour, but it is worth noting. The pattern described-blocked call followed by SMS from the same number-suggests deliberate contact persistence. If you receive similar contact from 02 7245 8301, it is reasonable to block the number.
How can I block 02 7245 8301 on my phone?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly from the call log. On iPhone, open the call history, find the number 0272458301, tap the information icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android devices, open the Phone app, find 02 7245 8301 in your call log, and select 'Block number' from the menu.
What should I do if I receive a text from 0272458301?
Do not reply to or click any links in the message. Use your phone's built-in spam reporting feature to report the SMS. You can also forward the message to 0429 999 888 for ACMA processing. Then delete the message and block the number 02 7245 8301 if further contact occurs.
Is 02 7245 8301 a legitimate business number?
The number is allocated as a local service through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in NSW, but allocation does not confirm legitimacy. Spam and scam campaigns sometimes operate from or spoof legitimate service provider ranges. The contributor's report of unsolicited blocked calls and SMS is the relevant indicator of behaviour.
Where can I report 02 7245 8301 if it contacts me?
You can report unwanted contact from 0272458301 to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au or to the ACMA at acma.gov.au. For SMS spam, forward the message to 0429 999 888. Contributing your experience to Reverseau also helps build community intelligence about this number's activity patterns.
