Three contributors have reported nuisance activity from 03 8601 2145 (also written as 0386012145), a Telstra-allocated local service number in Victoria. Reports describe a pattern of silent calls where the caller disconnects immediately after connection, robocalls with no voicemail message, and callback lure tactics designed to encourage return calls.

The behaviour from 0386012145 fits a classic nuisance calling pattern. One contributor answered their landline to hear silence before the caller hung up, describing it as a prank tactic. Another received a robocall that rang through without leaving any message, while a third experienced the callback-lure variation where the line connected but went silent, likely banking on curiosity-driven return calls.

Report Patterns and Timing

The most recent activity from 03 8601 2145 occurred today, with a contributor reporting two callback-lure attempts on the same number. An earlier robocall with no message was logged in early March, and a silent-call hangup was reported in February. The spread across different nuisance tactics (silent call, robocall, callback lure) over several weeks suggests ongoing activity rather than an isolated incident.

All three reports relate to received calls rather than SMS contact, and the pattern is consistent with commercial nuisance calling operations or number-spoofing tactics that cycle through different silent-call variations.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 8601 2145

If 03 8601 2145 calls you:

• Do not: Return the call, as it may encourage further contact or activate billing on premium lines
• Do: Let it ring to voicemail, hang up immediately if you answer to silence, and block the number in your phone settings
• Do: Report repeat calls to the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) if they continue
• Do: Consider adding 03 8601 2145 to your phone's blocked list after the first silent call

Silent calls and robocalls often use callback-lure tactics to generate traffic on premium lines or to identify active phone numbers for targeted spam campaigns. Do not engage with the caller, and do not be curious about returning the call.
