Persistent Nuisance Calls from 02 9423 0858
A contributor has reported receiving multiple calls from 02 9423 0858 (also written as 0294230858) in rapid succession. The caller rang five times consecutively without leaving a voicemail, suggesting deliberate persistence rather than accidental dialling.

Call Pattern and Behaviour
The reported calls from 02 9423 0858 came through as missed calls, indicating the contributor did not answer. The fact that 0294230858 called five times in a row points to intentional contact attempts rather than a single misdial. This rapid-fire calling pattern is characteristic of either automated systems testing number validity or deliberate harassment designed to force an answer.
What to Do If 02 9423 0858 Calls You
If you receive calls from 02 9423 0858:

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call 02 9423 0858 five times in a row?
Rapid consecutive calls from 0294230858 typically indicate either an automated system testing whether a number is active and monitored, or deliberate harassment designed to force you to answer. Legitimate businesses rarely call multiple times within seconds - they usually leave a voicemail or wait for a callback.
Should I answer if 02 9423 0858 calls again?
No. If you don't recognise 0294230858 and it has already called multiple times, answering may confirm your number is active and lead to more calls. Instead, block the number in your phone's settings and let future calls from 02 9423 0858 go to voicemail. If a genuine caller needs to reach you, they will leave a message.
Can I block 0294230858 permanently?
Yes. Most phones allow you to block numbers directly in your call log or contacts. On iOS, open the recent call from 02 9423 0858, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, long-press the number 0294230858 in your call history and choose 'Block number'. After blocking, calls from 02 9423 0858 will be silenced and sent to voicemail.
Is 02 9423 0858 a scam or just annoying?
Based on the current report, 0294230858 is classified as a nuisance call rather than a confirmed scam. The contributor received missed calls without any verbal message or demand for information. However, persistent calling patterns can escalate, so monitor your calls from 02 9423 0858 and report if the behaviour worsens or if you do speak with someone making suspicious claims.
Why is 02 9423 0858 listed as a Primus Telecommunications number?
0294230858 is allocated to Primus Telecommunications Pty Limited, an Australian telecommunications provider. However, the allocated provider does not mean Primus itself is responsible for the calls - the number may have been spoofed, misused, or compromised. Always verify independently with the organisation before accepting claims made by 02 9423 0858 callers.
What's the difference between reporting to ACMA and the Do Not Call Register?
The Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) is where you register your number to opt out of marketing calls. If 02 9423 0858 continues calling after you've registered, you can then file a breach complaint with ACMA (acma.gov.au). ACMA investigates violations and can issue penalties. Reporting to Reverseau also builds the community safety profile for 0294230858.
