Two contributors have flagged 02 7246 4257 (also written as 0272464257) as suspicious activity. The reports describe missed calls from this number without voicemail messages, a common pattern in scam and nuisance calling campaigns.
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in NSW. One contributor noted that 02 7246 4257 was part of a coordinated calling sequence, with this number and four others calling within a 90-minute window, suggesting potential automated or campaign-based dialling.
Call Patterns Reported

One contributor specifically observed that 02 7246 4257 arrived as part of a cluster of five calls in quick succession over 90 minutes. This coordinated pattern suggests the calls may be systematically targeting multiple numbers rather than reaching out to individual known contacts.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7246 4257
If 02 7246 4257 calls you:
- Do not: Answer calls from unknown numbers, return the call, or engage if you do pick up
- Do: Let missed calls go to voicemail, check for a message before returning any call, block the number if calls continue
- Do verify: Any callback requests by ringing the organisation directly using an official number from their website, never using a number the caller provided
Why Scammers Don't Leave Voicemail
Silent or no-message calls from 02 7246 4257 serve several purposes for potential scammers. They probe whether a number is active and answered by a person. Once they confirm activity, they may call back later with a scripted pitch, or they may sell the confirmed number to other scam operations. The coordinated pattern reported suggests an organised campaign rather than a one-off mistake.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if 02 7246 4257 keeps calling me?
Block the number in your phone settings and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au. The pattern of calls from 02 7246 4257 without voicemail messages suggests automated dialling, so blocking is your best immediate defence. If calls continue from other numbers in a similar pattern, also consider registering with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
Is 0272464257 a scam number?
Two contributors have flagged 0272464257 as suspicious, particularly due to missed calls with no message left. While the reports suggest potentially problematic activity, the limited information means it could be uncertain calling behaviour rather than confirmed scam. Block the number and monitor for further calls. If you receive follow-up contact from 0272464257, report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why would multiple numbers call within 90 minutes like the contributor reported from 02 7246 4257?
The coordinated calling pattern described by the contributor (this number and four others calling within 90 minutes) is a hallmark of automated scam dialling campaigns or robocall operations. These systems rapidly dial multiple numbers in sequence, using tactics like no voicemail to test which numbers are active before a scammer connects or the number is sold to another operation.
Should I call back if I missed a call from 02 7246 4257?
No. Do not call back 02 7246 4257. If the caller needed to reach you urgently, they would have left a voicemail. Calling back unknown numbers that don't leave messages can confirm your number is active to scammers, leading to more calls. If it's important, the caller will try again or send a message.
What does it mean if a call from 0272464257 is part of a batch of incoming calls?
A batch of calls in quick succession, as reported about 0272464257, indicates systematic dialling rather than a personal contact trying to reach you. This pattern is common in scam campaigns where automated systems target hundreds of numbers rapidly. Each call without a voicemail tests whether the number is active. If you see this pattern, block all such numbers immediately.
How can I check who owns the number 02 7246 4257?
02 7246 4257 is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in NSW. However, phone number allocation doesn't guarantee the caller is the network provider. Scammers often spoof or misuse allocated numbers. If you need to verify a call, contact the organisation directly using an official number from their website, never using a number the caller provided. You can also use Reverseau to check community reports about 02 7246 4257.
