WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call 03 5449 4400 and say nothing?
Silent calls from 0354494400 are typically used to verify whether a phone number is actively monitored. If you answer and speak, the caller learns your number is in use, which may lead to scam attempts or increased unwanted contact. Some silent calls are also generated by automated systems testing call routing.
Is 03 5449 4400 definitely a scam?
Based on nine community reports, 0354494400 is currently categorised as uncertain. The silent call pattern is consistent and suggests deliberate behaviour rather than a wrong number. However, no contributor has reported subsequent scam attempts after receiving calls from 03 5449 4400, so the immediate intent remains unclear.
Should I answer if 03 5449 4400 calls again?
It's safer not to answer calls from 0354494400 if you don't recognise the number. Silent calls are often the first stage in targeting tactics. Letting it go to voicemail prevents the caller from confirming your number is actively monitored and may reduce future call attempts.

Yes, you can block 0354494400 on most Australian phones. iOS users can mark the number as spam in the Phone app, while Android users can block the number in Contacts or through their phone's call filtering settings. Blocking 03 5449 4400 will prevent calls from going through and voicemail notifications.
What does Telstra say about calls from 03 5449 4400?
03 5449 4400 is allocated to Telstra as a local service number in Victoria, but Telstra does not originate these calls. If the calls are spoofed (using a fake Telstra number), the actual origin could be elsewhere. Report persistent calls to Telstra customer service and the ACMA.
