Silent Call and Spam Reports for 03 7042 2138

Eight contributors have flagged 03 7042 2138 (also written as 0370422138) for persistent unwanted calling behaviour. The pattern centres on repeated calls that either go unanswered or result in the caller hanging up without leaving a message. This number, allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in Victoria, has accumulated reports spanning from mid-2023 through early 2025 describing escalating frustration with the calling pattern.

The most distinctive aspect of 0370422138 is the relentless frequency. One contributor noted the number calls "every single day", while another reported receiving calls "every couple of days" without any voicemail left behind. A contributor who answered the call described it simply as "annoying spam calls", and several others had their phones automatically flag 03 7042 2138 as potentially fraudulent.

Calling Patterns and Behaviour

Silent calls dominate the reports for 03 7042 2138. When a contributor answered, the caller provided no introduction or message. When calls reached voicemail, no message was left. One contributor explicitly stated the caller "hung up when I didn't answer", suggesting the number may be using automated calling systems that disconnect when reaching answering machines.

The frequency of calls from 0370422138 has frustrated contributors enough that multiple blocking attempts were made. One contributor reported blocking the number "multiple times", indicating the calls either continued from the same number or contributors' blocking settings were reset. Contributors consistently describe the experience as routine and recurring, with no variation in calling times or message content, fitting a pattern consistent with robocalling or automated silent calling campaigns.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7042 2138

If 03 7042 2138 calls you:

• Do not: Answer the call if you do not recognise the number, return the call, or engage if the caller hangs up
• Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately on your phone, and consider enabling "silence unknown callers" if your device supports it
• Avoid callback scams: Do not return calls to numbers that hang up on voicemail, as they may be testing for active phone numbers
• Report the pattern: If 0370422138 calls you repeatedly, report it to the ACMA and Reverseau to help identify the scale of the problem

Why Silent Calls Happen

Silent calls from numbers like 03 7042 2138 typically occur for one of several reasons. The most common is that an automated dialling system is testing whether a number is active before transferring to a live caller or scammer. Some campaigns use silent calls to probe for numbers that will answer, then sell those details to other scam networks. Another possibility is that the silent call is a callback scam in disguise - if you return the call, you may reach a premium-rate service or enter a scam conversation.

The fact that 0370422138 is a local Victorian number allocated to a legitimate internet service provider does not guarantee legitimacy. Many scam campaigns spoof or hijack local numbers to appear more credible and avoid detection.
