Silent Call and Robocall Reports for 03 6159 9499
Five contributors have reported suspicious activity from 03 6159 9499 (also written as 0361599499), with a distinct pattern of silent calls and robocall behaviour. The calls are allocated to Symbio Networks, a local service provider in Tasmania. Multiple reports describe the caller establishing connection, then remaining silent or cutting off abruptly before any conversation begins.
Contributors receiving calls from 0361599499 note varying tactics: some experience immediate silence followed by disconnection, while others report brief audio before the line drops. One contributor observed the caller attempting multiple numbers in the same 03 6159 94 range, suggesting systematic dialling patterns rather than random contact.
What Callers from 03 6159 9499 Do
The silent call pattern is consistent across reports of 03 6159 9499. One contributor answered and experienced silence for several seconds before a woman's voice briefly came through, then disconnected. Another described a similar sequence: dead air, then a voice attempting to engage before the call ended abruptly.
A contributor who received a voicemail from 0361599499 reported 30 seconds of heavy breathing with random background noises, then disconnection. This voicemail behaviour, combined with the silent call pattern, suggests automated systems testing line connectivity or attempting to verify active numbers.
One contributor who called back the number received a disconnection message from Optus, indicating the number may not accept return calls. The caller's apparent connection to a call centre environment (noted as sounding like an Indian call centre operation) combined with the systematic dialling of similar 03 6159 94 numbers raises concerns about coordinated contact attempts.
Call Patterns and Behaviour
Reports of 03 6159 9499 show activity spanning from August through November 2025, with missed calls, answered calls, and voicemail contact recorded. The reports cluster around two distinct patterns: brief answered calls with silence or hang-ups, and missed calls generating no connection opportunity.
One contributor received missed calls for two consecutive days from 0361599499 before attempting to return the call. The inability to reach the number through standard callback suggests the calls originate from automated systems rather than a standard phone line. Multiple contributors noted the calls consistently disconnected before or immediately after they picked up, preventing any actual conversation.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 6159 9499 keep calling then hanging up?
Multiple contributors report that 0361599499 connects then immediately disconnects or remains silent. This pattern typically indicates an automated robocall system verifying that your number is active and answers calls. The hang-up occurs before any scripted message plays, suggesting the system is testing responsiveness rather than attempting a sales or scam call at this stage.
Is it safe to call back 0361599499?
No. One contributor attempted to call back 03 6159 9499 and received a disconnection message from Optus, indicating the number may not accept inbound calls. Calling back does nothing useful and may flag your number as responsive, leading to more call attempts. It's better to block 0361599499 and ignore future contact.
What should I do about the voicemail from 03 6159 9499?
If 0361599499 leaves a voicemail with heavy breathing, silence, or random noises, delete it without listening multiple times. Don't engage with the message. Report it to your phone provider and ACMA at acma.gov.au. Voicemails with unusual audio are often used to confirm active voicemail accounts for targeting in future scams.
Why are there multiple similar numbers like 03 6159 94XX calling me?
Several contributors noted calls from similar numbers in the 03 6159 94 range. This systematic pattern suggests automated dialling software testing multiple variations. These are likely sourced from the same operation allocated to Symbio Networks in Tasmania. If calls continue from similar numbers, contact your telco and request filtering of the entire range.
Should I answer if 03 6159 9499 calls again?
It's better not to answer. Answering confirms your number is active and monitored, which may increase future call frequency. Let 0361599499 go to voicemail, block the number in your phone settings, and report it to ACMA and your service provider. This prevents escalation to more targeted contact.
Who is behind calls from 0361599499?
The number 03 6159 9499 is allocated to Symbio Networks, a telecommunications provider in Tasmania. However, the silent call pattern and systematic dialling of similar numbers suggests the calls may originate from a third party using Symbio's infrastructure. Contributors noted the calls sound like they come from a call centre operation, but the specific intent (eventual scam, list verification, or other) remains unclear from the reports available.
