Silent calls are calls where the line goes quiet or disconnects without the caller speaking. The contributor who reported 02 7258 2879 experienced 2 minutes of silence before hanging up.

Is 0272582879 a legitimate business number?
The number 0272582879 is allocated as a local service in NSW through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, a legitimate internet service provider. However, phone number allocations can be misused by scammers.

No. Do not return calls to 02 7258 2879 or any number you don't recognise, especially after receiving a silent call. Callback scammers deliberately hang up silently to prompt recipients to call back, which can connect you to premium-rate or overseas numbers that generate charges.
