Silent Calls and Telemarketing from 03 8001 1670
Four contributors have reported activity from 03 8001 1670 (also written as 0380011670), a local service number allocated to Victoria. The reports paint a pattern of nuisance calling behaviour, with the majority involving silent calls where callers disconnect immediately upon answering. One contributor also flagged a telemarketing pitch about solar batteries.
The allocation data shows 0380011670 is registered as a local service through Symbio Networks in Victoria, though this does not guarantee legitimacy. Silent call patterns from Victoria-based numbers like 03 8001 1670 are often associated with automated dialling systems testing active numbers or callback scams attempting to trigger return calls.
What Callers from 03 8001 1670 Do
Contributors describe consistent silence when 03 8001 1670 connects. One report notes that every time they answered, the caller hung up without speaking. Another contributor received a voicemail containing only a long awkward silence, indicating the call was likely automated rather than human-initiated.
A separate contributor mentioned calling 0380011670 back after receiving multiple missed calls and encountering a strange dial tone before disconnection. This is a known pattern associated with callback scams, where the number either doesn't connect properly or is no longer actively monitored.
One contributor reported a brief telemarketing pitch about solar battery systems, which may indicate the number is used for multiple calling campaigns or has changed hands between operators.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports span from February through October 2025, suggesting ongoing activity. The silent call reports cluster in July and October, while one contributor reported repeated calls with no message left. The pattern of multiple attempts followed by disconnection when answered is characteristic of robocall or automated systems testing phone number validity.
One report indicates the caller made several attempts without leaving a voicemail, suggesting either a callback scam attempting to trick the recipient into returning the call, or an automated system designed to gather active numbers for later contact.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 8001 1670
If 03 8001 1670 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, especially if you heard a strange dial tone or disconnection when checking who called
- Do not: Engage with repeated calls - hang up immediately
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail and listen for actual messages rather than silence
- Do: Block the number (03 8001 1670 or 0380011670) on your phone to prevent further contact

Silent calls combined with multiple attempts are a common harassment tactic and do not warrant a callback from you.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 8001 1670 keep calling and hanging up?
Silent calls from 0380011670 are typically generated by automated systems. Contributors report that every time they answer, the caller disconnects without speaking. This pattern suggests a robocall system testing whether your number is active, or a callback scam designed to trick you into returning the call. Do not call back - this is a known harassment tactic.
What should I do if I get a voicemail with just silence from 03 8001 1670?
A silent voicemail from 0380011670 indicates the call was automated rather than a genuine enquiry. Block the number immediately. Contributors who received similar voicemails from 03 8001 1670 found that blocking prevented further contact. Do not return the call.
Is 0380011670 a legitimate business number?
0380011670 is allocated to Symbio Networks as a local service in Victoria, but allocation alone does not confirm legitimacy. Four contributors have reported nuisance activity and silent calls from 03 8001 1670. The pattern of hang-ups and repeated contact without leaving messages is not typical of legitimate business calling.
I called 03 8001 1670 back and got a strange dial tone. What does this mean?
A strange dial tone or immediate disconnection when you try to return a call to 0380011670 is a red flag. One contributor experienced this after receiving multiple missed calls. This pattern is typical of callback scams where the number either disconnects or routes to a different service if you try to contact them. Avoid returning calls to numbers you don't recognise.
One report mentioned solar batteries from 03 8001 1670. Is this a scam?
One contributor reported a telemarketing call about solar batteries from 03 8001 1670, while others report silent calls from the same number. The mixed reports suggest either multiple campaigns using the number or a telemarketer that also engages in silent call harassment. Either way, repeated calls and silent contact warrant blocking.
How can I stop 0380011670 from calling me?
Block 03 8001 1670 on your phone immediately. You can also register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to opt out of telemarketing. If 0380011670 continues calling after you've registered and blocked it, report the breach to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
