A contributor has reported repeated calls from 02 8661 0213 (also written as 0286610213) with no voicemail left behind.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 02 8661 0213 keep calling but never leave a message?
Spam and robocall systems often use automated dialling that doesn't leave voicemail, or they hang up when reaching voicemail. The contributor's experience with 0286610213 reflects this pattern - the caller rings through but disconnects without leaving details. This is typical of numbers screening for active phone numbers or spam campaigns that rely on repeated contact attempts rather than clear messaging.
Is 0286610213 a scam number?
The single report about 02 8661 0213 indicates spam behaviour rather than a confirmed scam attempt. However, repeated silent or no-message calls from 0286610213 are associated with spam operations. Until more specific details emerge about what the caller wants, it's safest to treat 02 8661 0213 as unwanted contact and block it.
Should I answer if 02 8661 0213 calls again?
No, you should not answer calls from 02 8661 0213. Since the contributor's experience shows the number calls repeatedly without leaving messages, there's no legitimate reason to engage. Answering 0286610213 may confirm your number is active and result in more frequent spam calls. Let it go to voicemail instead.
How do I block 02 8661 0213 on my phone?
Most Australian phones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, open the recent call from 02 8661 0213, tap 'i' (info), and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, long-press the number 0286610213 in your call log and choose 'Block'. Once blocked, calls from 02 8661 0213 will go straight to voicemail without ringing.
What should I do if 0286610213 calls multiple times per day?
If calls from 02 8661 0213 become excessive (more than a few times daily), report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au. Provide details of the call frequency and times. ACMA investigates patterns of spam calling and can take enforcement action. You can also report 0286610213 to your phone provider, Optus, which may apply network-level blocking.
