WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a silent call?
A silent call occurs when you answer a phone call but hear nothing on the other end, sometimes with background sounds like whistling (as reported for 03 9003 9260). These calls are often used by organisations to verify that a phone number is active and monitored before initiating sales or collection contact. Do not engage or confirm your availability.
Why would someone call from 03 9003 9260 just to whistle?
The whistling reported during the call to 0390039260 may have been incidental background noise, or it could indicate an automated dialling system testing the connection. Either way, it suggests the call was not a genuine inquiry-genuine callers introduce themselves and state their purpose immediately.
Should I be concerned about a single silent call from 0390039260?
A single silent call is typically a low-level nuisance rather than an immediate threat. However, if 03 9003 9260 calls you repeatedly with no conversation, it warrants blocking and reporting. Document additional calls and report them to ACMA and Reverseau to help establish a pattern.
Can I block 03 9003 9260 on my phone?
Yes. Most smartphones allow you to block specific numbers in your contacts or call settings. If 0390039260 calls again, block it immediately after the call ends. You can also report the number to your phone service provider if the calls continue after blocking.
What should I do if I keep receiving silent calls from different numbers?
If you receive repeated silent calls from 03 9003 9260 or similar numbers, register your phone number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. You can also lodge a complaint with ACMA at acma.gov.au describing the pattern of silent contact you are experiencing.
Is the Do Not Call Register effective against nuisance calls like the one from 03 9003 9260?
Registration on the Do Not Call Register reduces telemarketing contact significantly. However, it does not block calls from numbers already testing your line (like the silent call from 0390039260). Combine registration with personal blocking of suspicious numbers to minimise nuisance calls.
