Robocall Reports for 02 9102 8782
Three contributors have reported contact from 02 9102 8782 (also written as 0291028782), a NSW-based local service. The most recent report describes robocall activity with no voicemail left behind, part of a pattern of repeated calls from this number.

What Callers from 02 9102 8782 Do
Contributors report that when calls from 02 9102 8782 do connect, the pattern is distinctly different from standard telemarketing. One contributor who picked up heard nothing but immediate disconnection. Another described receiving multiple calls without any voicemail message recorded, suggesting automated dialling rather than a live operator campaign.
The robocall aspect of these 0291028782 calls indicates an automated system attempting outreach, but contributors received no intelligible message or follow-up communication. This silent contact pattern is consistent with either testing active numbers or feeding contact lists for downstream scams.
Call Patterns and Timing
The most recent activity on 02 9102 8782 occurred within the last 24 hours, with the contributor reporting multiple calls during that window. Earlier reports from February and March suggest intermittent contact spanning at least two months, though current information does not detail the frequency of calls to individual recipients.
One contributor specifically mentioned receiving multiple calls from 0291028782 in quick succession, characteristic of robocall campaigns. The repeated nature and lack of voicemail differentiate these calls from standard missed call patterns, where a legitimate business would typically leave contact information.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 9102 8782
If 02 9102 8782 calls you:
- Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, return the call, or assume silence means it's safe
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately after the first call, and document the time and date of each attempt
- Block on your device: Most smartphones allow direct blocking within the call log. Block 02 9102 8782 after the first unwanted contact to prevent repeated calls to 0291028782
- Check caller ID: If your phone displays the full number, confirm it matches 02 9102 8782 before deciding to answer

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep getting calls from 02 9102 8782 with no one on the line?
Community reports indicate 02 9102 8782 (0291028782) is using robocall technology to dial numbers automatically. When you answer, the system either disconnects immediately or transfers you to an agent. If no agent is available, you hear silence and the call drops. This is typical of high-volume dialling campaigns where the ratio of calls to available operators is unbalanced.
Is it safe to call back 02 9102 8782?
No. Do not return a call to 02 9102 8782 or 0291028782. Callback scams rely on recipients dialling back out of curiosity. You may be charged premium rates, connected to a separate scam, or add your number to an active list for future targeting. If you need to contact a business, find their official number through their website instead.
What does it mean that 02 9102 8782 is an AAPT Limited number?
The number 0291028782 is allocated to AAPT Limited, an Australian telecommunications provider. However, allocation does not mean AAPT itself is calling you. Scammers frequently spoof or hijack service provider numbers, or the original account holder's line has been compromised. The allocation simply tells you the number originates from an NSW local service.
Should I answer the next call from 0291028782?
No. Based on three reports of silent calls and immediate hang-ups, there is no legitimate reason to answer 02 9102 8782. Answering confirms your number is active, potentially placing you on lists for future scams. Use voicemail instead; legitimate callers leave messages.
Can I block 02 9102 8782 permanently?
Yes. Most Australian smartphones allow you to block numbers directly in your call log. Open the call from 02 9102 8782, select block or block contact, and 0291028782 will no longer ring through. Some calls may still register as missed if the blocker only activates after initial ringing, but the number will not connect to you.
Where should I report repeated calls from 02 9102 8782?
Report to ACMA (acma.gov.au) if the calls continue despite blocking, and to the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) to request suppression of 0291028782. You can also contribute your experience here on Reverseau to alert other Australians about 02 9102 8782 and help identify patterns in robocall activity.
