One contributor reports 03 8775 1149 (0387751149) called 49 times in under 24 hours. Persistent nuisance calls from Victorian number.
Relentless Calling Pattern from 03 8775 1149
A contributor has reported an extreme calling pattern from 03 8775 1149 (also written as 0387751149), with the number calling 49 times in less than a day. This level of persistence goes well beyond typical telemarketing or accidental misdials, suggesting either an automated system deliberately targeting the recipient or deliberate harassment.
The number is allocated to AAPT Limited and originates from Victoria. The sheer volume of calls from 03 8775 1149 in such a short timeframe indicates the caller has no regard for Do Not Call Register compliance or basic communication etiquette.
What to Do If You Receive Calls from 03 8775 1149
If 03 8775 1149 continues to call you:
- Do not: Answer the call if you don't recognise the number, or engage with the caller if patterns match this report
- Do: Block the number immediately on your phone
- Do: If calls persist after blocking, collect evidence (screenshots of call logs, timestamps)
- Do: Report repeated unwanted calls to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)
With 49 calls in under 24 hours, this clearly crosses into harassment territory rather than simple nuisance contact.
Reporting This Number
Persistent calling like this warrants formal complaints to Australian authorities:
- Report to ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) at acma.gov.au - they investigate serious breaches of telemarketing rules and can take enforcement action against callers
- Register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if not already registered, though this number's behaviour suggests it ignores compliance obligations
- If you believe this is harassment or threatening behaviour, contact your local police
- Share your experience on Reverseau to help other Australians identify this caller
Understanding This Type of Pattern
Nuisance calls at this volume typically come from one of several sources: automated calling systems operated by unscrupulous telemarketing companies, robocalling services that cycle through number lists, or in rare cases, deliberate harassment from an individual or organisation targeting a specific person. The AAPT allocation suggests this could be routed through a legitimate provider but used for illegitimate purposes.
The fact that the contributor answered at least once (given the call channel is listed as answered) means their number has been confirmed as active, potentially adding it to further call lists or targeting campaigns.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would 03 8775 1149 call someone 49 times in one day?
The single contributor's experience with 0387751149 suggests either an automated system cycling through numbers repeatedly, or deliberate targeting. At this volume, accidental dialling or standard telemarketing can be ruled out. The number may be testing active phone numbers, executing a harassment campaign, or operating a robocalling system with minimal filters.
Is it safe to answer a call from 03 8775 1149?
The contributor who answered calls from 03 8775 1149 didn't report any scam attempt or harmful content, only the relentless volume. However, answering confirms your number is active and monitored, potentially escalating calling patterns. Letting it go to voicemail is safer, and blocking 0387751149 after the first few calls is the best approach.
Should I report 03 8775 1149 to ACMA?
Yes. A single report of 49 calls in under 24 hours from 03 8775 1149 absolutely warrants an ACMA complaint. ACMA takes Do Not Call Register breaches and harassment seriously, especially at this volume. Report via acma.gov.au with your call logs and timestamps.
Can I block 0387751149 permanently on my phone?
Yes. Most modern phones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, go to Recents, swipe left on 0387751149, and select Block. On Android, open the Phone app, find the number, tap more options, and select Block. This prevents calls from 03 8775 1149 from reaching you, though it doesn't stop the caller from trying.
What if blocking 03 8775 1149 doesn't stop the calls?
If calls from 03 8775 1149 continue after blocking, contact your phone provider (AAPT or your network operator) and request they investigate. You can also file a police report if the behaviour escalates to harassment or threats. Keep detailed records of all attempts from 0387751149 for evidence.
Could 03 8775 1149 be spoofing its caller ID?
It's possible. The number may be legitimate but hijacked, or the caller ID itself could be spoofed. Either way, the behaviour is illegal. Report to ACMA at acma.gov.au and your phone provider. If you know the actual business behind 0387751149, report them directly to their regulatory body as well.
