Robocall Reports for 02 7246 4229
Three contributors have reported calls from 02 7246 4229 (also written as 0272464229) involving automated messages in Chinese. Two of these reports specifically mention robocall tactics, with contributors receiving either voicemail messages or live calls featuring pre-recorded audio. The number is registered as a local service in New South Wales through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd.
What distinguishes these reports is the language barrier and lack of intelligible content in English. Contributors have flagged the calls as suspicious or unusual precisely because the automated message was in a language they do not understand, raising questions about the call's legitimacy and purpose.
What Callers from 02 7246 4229 Do
One contributor received an automated voicemail message in Chinese from 0272464229, with no follow-up context or English-language explanation. Another report describes a live call during afternoon hours (around 3:27 pm) where the contributor answered and encountered what appeared to be a pre-recorded message in Chinese.
A third report notes receiving an afternoon call featuring a Chinese-speaking recording, which the contributor found unusual and unexpected. None of the reports indicate the caller identified themselves, made any specific claims, or requested information or payment. The calls appear to be purely automated delivery of pre-recorded audio without personalisation or interaction.
Call Patterns and Timing
The three reports span different dates, with one received as recently as March 2026. Calls from 02 7246 4229 have occurred during standard business hours and afternoon periods. One contributor received the call at 3:27 pm; others noted receiving calls during "the arvo" (afternoon). At least one instance reached voicemail, suggesting the contributor did not answer when 0272464229 called.
The robocall nature means these are likely automated campaigns rather than individual caller attempts, which may explain the timing clustering and lack of personalisation across reports.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7246 4229
If 02 7246 4229 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, engage with any automated prompts, or press any numbered keys
- Do: Let it go to voicemail if you do not recognise the number, then block 0272464229 from your phone
- Do: Report repeated calls to your phone service provider
- Do not: Assume a pre-recorded message in another language is legitimate just because it sounds automated
Robocalls may originate from spoofed numbers or compromised services, so blocking the number is an effective immediate step. If the calls persist after blocking, contact your service provider or the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority).

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 7246 4229 a scam number?
Community reports for 0272464229 do not indicate a traditional scam involving financial loss or identity theft. However, the robocall nature and use of a foreign language without context are suspicious markers. The three reports categorise 02 7246 4229 as uncertain or nuisance rather than confirmed scam, but the automated robocall tactics warrant caution and blocking.
What is the Chinese-language message from 02 7246 4229?
None of the contributors who received calls from 0272464229 reported understanding or translating the message content. The voicemail and live call both featured pre-recorded audio in Chinese. Without understanding the language, it is impossible to know what the automated message claims or what action (if any) it requests.
Why am I getting robocalls from 02 7246 4229?
Robocalls from 0272464229 are automated and likely part of a larger campaign. The calls may target numbers randomly, or your number may have been included in a list sold or leaked from a data breach. The fact that three separate contributors have reported calls from 02 7246 4229 suggests this number is used repeatedly for robocall distribution rather than a single misdial.
What should I do if I accidentally pressed a key during the robocall from 02 7246 4229?
If you pressed a key or interacted with the automated message from 02 7246 4229 (0272464229), monitor your account and contact information for any suspicious activity. Do not engage further if the number calls again. Pressing keys on robocalls can sometimes confirm your number is active, potentially leading to more calls, so blocking 02 7246 4229 is recommended.
Is 02 7246 4229 a legitimate business number?
While 0272464229 is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in NSW, the robocall reports do not suggest legitimate business use. The use of pre-recorded messages in Chinese without identifying information or business purpose is inconsistent with standard legitimate business practice. The number may have been compromised, spoofed, or registered but misused.
How do I block 02 7246 4229 on my phone?
Most Australian mobile and landline services allow you to block numbers directly in your phone settings or through your service provider. Add 0272464229 to your blocked contacts or use your provider's call-blocking service. If robocalls from 02 7246 4229 persist or you receive calls from similar numbers, contact your provider about advanced filtering options, and report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
