Nine contributors have reported calls from 02 9044 2943 (also written as 0290442943), with a consistent pattern of aggressive cold calling targeting business phone lines.

What Callers from 02 9044 2943 Try to Sell
Reports about 02 9044 2943 reveal multiple distinct sales pitches being run through this number. Three separate contributors received calls from Tricon Telecommunications, claiming to offer new phone system solutions. Another group of reports describe callers identifying themselves as "RMC" (a contributor noted they wouldn't elaborate what the acronym stood for) attempting to sell Google advertising packages.
Two recent reports from October 2025 describe persistent attempts to place vending machines in business offices. One contributor reported that callers from 02 9044 2943 kept pushing despite repeated rejections. Another noted the same vending machine pitch with equally persistent sales tactics, with the caller continuing to pressure after being told "we don't want that".
Call Patterns and Persistence
The reports about 0290442943 span more than a year, from September 2024 through October 2025, suggesting either sustained call centre activity or multiple operations using the same number. Several contributors mention receiving multiple calls, with one reporting that after initially declining the Google ads pitch from 02 9044 2943, the caller rang "over and over" before being blocked.
All nine reports come from answered calls to business lines, indicating the callers are specifically targeting commercial numbers rather than residential numbers. Most interactions occurred during standard business hours, consistent with B2B sales centre operations.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 02 9044 2943 keep calling after I said no?
Multiple contributors report that 0290442943 ignores declinations and calls repeatedly, sometimes within hours. One described being called "over and over" after declining a Google ads pitch. This suggests either inadequate compliance with customer requests within the call centre, or use of automated systems that don't flag rejections. Blocking the number immediately after the first call is the most effective response.
Who is actually calling from 02 9044 2943?
Reports indicate multiple call centre operations using 0290442943. Tricon Telecommunications appears in three reports selling phone systems. Other callers claimed to represent "RMC" (advertising packages) or sold vending machine placements. This suggests either a single call centre managing multiple campaigns, or potentially call centre resellers using shared infrastructure.
Is 02 9044 2943 a scam?
Not a financial scam, but persistent unwanted telemarketing spam. Contributors report legitimate products being sold (phone systems, advertising, vending machines), but through aggressive cold calling and refusal to accept rejection. One contributor described the caller from 0290442943 as "rude" when pressed. The behaviour is annoying and time-wasting rather than fraudulent, but still worth blocking and reporting.
What should I do if 02 9044 2943 calls my business repeatedly?
First, state clearly you're not interested and hang up. If 0290442943 calls again, block the number immediately on your phone system. Register your business number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au - callers should comply within 30 days. If they continue after registration, report the breach to ACMA at acma.gov.au. Contributors who blocked this number report calls stop.
Why would someone keep calling about vending machines?
Two October 2025 reports describe persistent vending machine sales attempts from 02 9044 2943. Vending placement is a commission-based business model, so call centre operators may have financial incentive to push hard and ignore rejection. The aggressive persistence reported by contributors (continuing to pitch after being told "we don't want that") suggests either poor training or deliberate pressure tactics to wear down business decision-makers.
Is the number 0290442943 registered to a legitimate business?
The number 02 9044 2943 is allocated as a local service in NSW through NetSIP Pty Ltd. However, allocation to a legitimate provider doesn't prevent use by aggressive call centres or resellers. Contributors' reports indicate the number is being actively used for persistent unsolicited business calls. Registration with the Do Not Call Register and blocking remain your best defences.
