02 8859 9397 (0288599397): 6 reports show mixed activity - confirmed Youii insurance calls, but also repeated nuisance calls with no voicemail and unresponsive callbacks.
Conflicting Reports for 02 8859 9397
The number 02 8859 9397 (also written as 0288599397) has generated six community reports with notably mixed findings. One contributor confirmed that calls from 02 8859 9397 originated from Youii insurance's call centre following up on an online quote they had completed. However, the remaining five reports describe persistent nuisance activity, unresponsive callbacks, and repeated contact without voicemail messages.
This mixed pattern suggests 0288599397 may be legitimately used by Youii insurance, but the number has also attracted unwanted calling behaviour or may be spoofed by callers attempting to bypass recognition systems.
What Contributors Report About Calls from 02 8859 9397
One contributor who answered a call from 02 8859 9397 identified it as a legitimate Youii insurance follow-up regarding a quote they had initiated online. This represents the only confirmed legitimate contact in the dataset.
The remaining reports paint a different picture. One contributor reported receiving six calls from 0288599397 spread across day and night, yet the voicemail was consistently empty, making it impossible to determine the caller's intent. Another contributor described the number as "definitely dodgy" after receiving multiple missed calls. A third contributor attempted to call back 02 8859 9397 multiple times but consistently reached a dead end, unable to connect with anyone who could explain the original call.
Call Patterns and Timing
The calling pattern shows persistent contact without clear communication. One contributor reported six calls from 0288599397 occurring both during day and night hours. Another noted repeated calls without voicemail messages, forcing them to block the number entirely. A contributor who received a missed call from 02 8859 9397 and attempted return contact found the number unresponsive, which is an unusual pattern if the number genuinely belongs to Youii insurance.
The mixed nature of reports - ranging from legitimate insurance follow-up to unexplained repeated calls - suggests contributors may be dealing with either legitimate Youii calls mixed with spoofed calls using the same number, or inconsistent calling behaviour from the insurance company's call centre.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8859 9397
If 02 8859 9397 calls you and you don't recognise the contact:
- Do: Let it go to voicemail first - a legitimate company will leave a message explaining the call
- Do: Check your email or customer account with Youii if you've interacted with them - they may send confirmation of scheduled follow-ups
- Do: Verify by calling Youii's official customer service number from their website or your policy documents
- Do not: Return the call immediately, as this confirms your number to potential spam operators
- Do not: Provide personal information if you can't verify the caller's identity
- Do: Block 0288599397 if the calls continue without explanation
What to Do If You Receive Multiple Calls from 02 8859 9397
If you're receiving repeated calls from 02 8859 9397 without voicemail messages, the calling pattern suggests either spam behaviour or a technical issue with the call centre:
- Block the number after the first unanswered call if no voicemail is left
- If you're an existing Youii customer, contact them directly via their official website or policy documents to ask if they are attempting to reach you
- Register the number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if you want to formally lodge a complaint about telemarketing calls
- Report persistent nuisance calls to ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) at acma.gov.au

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
I received a call from 02 8859 9397 - is it definitely Youii insurance?
One contributor confirmed that 02 8859 9397 was a legitimate Youii insurance call centre follow-up to their online quote. However, not all calls from 0288599397 may be from Youii - the number may also be spoofed or used by other callers. If you're unsure, contact Youii directly using the phone number on your policy or their official website rather than calling back 02 8859 9397 directly.
Why are there so many missed calls from 0288599397 with no voicemail?
Multiple contributors reported receiving calls from 0288599397 that didn't result in voicemail messages. If these are legitimate Youii calls, they may be automated follow-ups with poor voicemail integration. If you've recently requested an insurance quote online, the legitimate calls may be contact attempts. However, if you haven't interacted with Youii, the repeated calls from 02 8859 9397 may indicate spam or spoofing.
I tried calling back 02 8859 9397 but got a dead end - what does this mean?
One contributor reported attempting to return calls to 0288599397 multiple times but was unable to reach anyone. This is unusual for a company call centre and suggests either the number is not properly set up for inbound calls, or the calls from 02 8859 9397 may be from a spoofed number. Never assume you can verify a caller by returning their call - always contact organisations using official numbers from their website.
Should I block 02 8859 9397?
This depends on your situation. If you've applied for a Youii insurance quote online and expect a follow-up call from 0288599397, you may want to answer one call to verify. However, if you're receiving six calls per day from 02 8859 9397 with no voicemail and no way to verify the caller's identity, blocking the number is reasonable. You can unblock it later if you need to follow up with Youii using their official customer service channels.
How do I register 02 8859 9397 on the Do Not Call Register?
You can't register specific numbers on the Do Not Call Register. Instead, you register your own phone number at donotcall.gov.au to request that telemarketers stop calling you. This covers most organisations, though financial services and charities may be exempt. If calls from 0288599397 continue after 30 days, you can lodge a complaint with ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Is 02 8859 9397 a scam?
Reports for 0288599397 are mixed - one contributor confirmed it was a legitimate Youii insurance call, while others reported nuisance activity or unexplained repeated calls. This suggests it's not a classic scam designed to steal money or information, but rather either legitimate calls mixed with spoofed activity using the same number, or inconsistent calling behaviour. No contributor reported being asked for money or personal financial information from 02 8859 9397.
