WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 8048 2285 a real business number?
02 8048 2285 is allocated to Optus Networks Pty Limited as a local service line in NSW, so it uses legitimate carrier infrastructure. However, allocation to a carrier does not verify the legitimacy of the caller or organisation using the number. One contributor marked 0280482285 as marketing spam, suggesting the number may be used for unauthorised or persistent marketing calls.
What should I do if 0280482285 keeps calling after I ask them to stop?
If 02 8048 2285 continues calling after you've explicitly asked to be removed from their list, this may violate telemarketing regulations. Document the dates and times of calls, then lodge a complaint with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) and report the breach to ACMA (acma.gov.au). You can also block 0280482285 directly on your phone.
How do I block 02 8048 2285 on my phone?

On Android, open your Phone app, find 0280482285 in Call History, press and hold, then select 'Block number'. Contact your provider (Optus or another carrier) if you need help blocking the number at the network level.
Should I answer calls from 02 8048 2285?
One contributor reported 0280482285 as an annoying marketing call, suggesting it is unsolicited. Unless you recognise the caller or are expecting a call from 02 8048 2285, let it go to voicemail. This prevents the caller from confirming your number is active, which can lead to more unwanted calls.
Why is 02 8048 2285 listed as Optus?
The number 0280482285 is provisioned by Optus Networks Pty Limited, one of Australia's major telecommunications carriers. Carriers provide phone lines to businesses and individuals; the carrier allocation alone does not indicate who is actually making calls from 02 8048 2285. The contributor's report indicates the number is being used for marketing calls.
Can I report 0280482285 to Scamwatch?
Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) primarily handles reports of scams involving financial loss or deception. Since the report for 02 8048 2285 describes marketing spam rather than a scam, the Do Not Call Register and ACMA are more appropriate channels. However, if you believe the marketing calls involve fraudulent claims or identity deception, Scamwatch may investigate.
