Repeated Calls from 02 9835 1972 with No Voicemail
A contributor has reported receiving multiple calls from 02 9835 1972 (also written as 0298351972) without any voicemail message being left. The number is registered to a Telstra local service in New South Wales. The pattern of repeated calling without communication is unusual and warrants caution.
What This Calling Pattern Suggests
Callers who repeatedly ring but deliberately avoid leaving voicemail often follow one of several scenarios: they may be testing if a number is active, conducting callback scams where they wait for you to return the call, or attempting to reach a specific person and hanging up when they reach an answering service. The contributor's experience with 0298351972 fits this pattern of persistent calling without engagement.
Possible Reasons for Silent or No-Message Calls
Telstra numbers in the 02 9835 range are local Sydney-area lines. Legitimate organisations typically leave messages explaining their purpose. When a caller from 02 9835 1972 repeatedly contacts you without voicemail, it may indicate:
- A callback scam where the caller hopes you'll return the call to an expensive premium number (though 0298351972 appears to be standard rate)
- Automated dialling systems testing number validity before launching full campaigns
- Wrong number calls from a faulty system repeatedly redialling
- An individual or organisation deliberately avoiding message trails

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone keep calling from 02 9835 1972 without leaving a message?
Callers who repeatedly ring 0298351972 without voicemail often use this tactic to test if a number is active, set up callback scams, or avoid creating evidence of their contact attempts. The contributor's experience with 02 9835 1972 shows a pattern consistent with these practices.
Is 02 9835 1972 a legitimate business number?
The number 0298351972 is registered as a Telstra local service in New South Wales. However, legitimate businesses typically leave voicemail messages explaining their purpose. The repeated calling without contact from 02 9835 1972 raises questions about intent, even though the carrier is legitimate.
Should I call back 0298351972 if they keep ringing?
No. If 02 9835 1972 repeatedly calls without leaving a message, avoid returning the call. Callback scams rely on you initiating contact. Instead, block the number and wait for legitimate callers to identify themselves via voicemail or follow up through other channels.
