Silent Call Reports for 03 6159 9495
A single contributor has reported calls from 03 6159 9495 (also written as 0361599495) that hang up before being answered. The caller allows the phone to ring but disconnects before the recipient can pick up, a classic silent call or robocall pattern. The contributor noted receiving multiple attempts from this number and similar variants, all exhibiting the same hang-up behaviour.
This Tasmanian local service number, allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, has been flagged for this frustrating calling pattern that prevents any direct contact or identification of the caller's intent.
What This Calling Pattern Indicates
Calls from 03 6159 9495 that hang up before answer suggest either an automated dialling system testing active numbers, or a callback scam setup. Silent calls followed by hang-ups are commonly used by scammers to identify which numbers are actively monitored by real people. Once identified, these numbers may be targeted with follow-up scam calls from spoofed numbers claiming to be from legitimate organisations.
The contributor's report of receiving multiple calls from 0361599495 and similar numbers points to a systematic pattern rather than a one-off misdial, increasing the likelihood of intentional targeting.
Call Patterns and Timing
The contributor reported that 03 6159 9495 hangs up consistently before they can answer, and that similar numbers have been calling repeatedly. This persistent behaviour across multiple attempts supports blocking the number entirely. The strategy of calling from similar number variants (as mentioned in the report about 03 6159 9454) suggests the caller may be using sequential or similar number ranges to reach targets.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 6159 9495 hang up before I answer?
Silent calls that disconnect before answer are often used to verify if a phone number is actively monitored. Scammers and robocall operators use this technique to confirm your number is real before launching targeted scam campaigns. The contributor's report about 0361599495 hanging up consistently suggests automated or deliberate number-testing activity.
Should I call back 03 6159 9495?
No. Do not return calls to 0361599495 or similar numbers. Calling back confirms your number is active and monitored, which increases the likelihood of follow-up scam calls from spoofed numbers. The best response is to block 03 6159 9495 immediately.
What is a callback scam, and how does 03 6159 9495 relate?
Callback scams use silent calls or hang-ups from numbers like 0361599495 to identify active phone numbers. Later, scammers call the same number from a spoofed caller ID (claiming to be from a bank, ATO, or NBN provider) and use high-pressure tactics. The initial silent call is reconnaissance.
Is 03 6159 9495 a legitimate Tasmanian business number?
03 6159 9495 is allocated as a local service number to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in Tasmania. However, allocation does not guarantee legitimate use. The number has been reported for silent calls that hang up before answer, a pattern inconsistent with standard business calling.
How do I block calls from 03 6159 9495 and similar numbers?
In your phone's settings, add 0361599495 to your blocked contacts or use your carrier's spam filtering service. Most modern phones also allow you to block numbers directly from the call log. If you receive calls from similar variants (03 6159 9454, 03 6159 9496), block those as well to prevent repeated attempts.
Should I report 03 6159 9495 to the Do Not Call Register?
The Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) is for telemarketing calls only and may not stop scammers using silent call tactics from 0361599495. However, you should report this number to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for nuisance calling, which carries stronger penalties than telemarketing violations.
