One contributor reports repeated calls from 03 9022 0404 (0390220404) with no message left. Caller hung up after several rings. Similar numbers called same day.
Repeated Calls from 03 9022 0404
One contributor has flagged 03 9022 0404 (also written as 0390220404) for suspicious repeated calling behaviour. The contributor received not just one call from this number, but multiple calls from a cluster of similar numbers on the same day, including 03 9022 0404, 03 9022 0411, and a third call from a mobile number.
The pattern is concerning because the caller from 03 9022 0404 hung up after several rings without leaving a voicemail message. This behaviour is typical of automated dialling systems that disconnect when they detect a person has answered, or callers testing whether a number is active and monitored.
What the Contributor Observed
The contributor noted that 03 9022 0404 is provisioned through Netsip (a known VoIP provider), and the sequential numbering pattern of the calls received (03 9022 0404 and 03 9022 0411 from the same provider) suggests a coordinated calling campaign rather than isolated contact attempts.
The repeated-call pattern combined with no message left is a red flag. The contributor's assessment was that while this could potentially be a political survey operation, the combination of factors warrants caution and advised others not to answer or return calls to this number.
Call Pattern and Timing
The calls to 03 9022 0404 came through as a local Victorian service number. All three calls in the cluster (including 0390220404 and the similar number) arrived within the same timeframe, suggesting an automated or semi-automated calling operation working through a list of contacts.
The use of sequential numbers from the same provider indicates this may be part of a larger batch calling operation, where multiple similar numbers are used to increase the likelihood of reaching contacts or to make the campaign harder to block comprehensively.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 0404
If 03 9022 0404 calls you:
- Do not: Answer the call if the number is unknown, return any missed calls from this number, or engage with the caller
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately if it calls again, check your phone provider's call-blocking options
- Do: If you do accidentally answer, hang up without providing any information and do not stay on the line
- Note: If you receive calls from multiple similar numbers in sequence (like 03 9022 0404, 03 9022 0411, etc.), this suggests a coordinated campaign and warrants blocking the entire number range if your phone allows it

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if a caller from 03 9022 0404 hangs up without leaving a message?
When a caller from 03 9022 0404 (0390220404) hangs up after several rings without leaving a voicemail, it typically indicates either an automated system that disconnects upon detecting a live person, or a manual campaign that is testing whether numbers are active. This behaviour is common in spam and scam operations that use callback manipulation or data harvesting. Do not return the call.
Why did I receive multiple calls from similar numbers like 03 9022 0404 and 03 9022 0411 on the same day?
Sequential calls from similar numbers like 03 9022 0404 and 0390220404-adjacent numbers suggest a coordinated batch calling campaign. This is a common tactic where operators use multiple similar phone numbers to increase contact rates and make blocking more difficult. Each number targets different contacts from the same list.
Is 03 9022 0404 connected to a known scam or spam operation?
The number 03 9022 0404 (0390220404) is provisioned through Netsip, a VoIP provider sometimes associated with spam and suspicious calling campaigns. One contributor reported the number with this context. However, a single report indicates we have limited information about the specific purpose of calls from this number - it could be unsolicited marketing, a survey, or potentially fraudulent. Treat it as suspicious and do not engage.
Should I block 03 9022 0404 on my phone?
Yes. Given the reported pattern of calls from 03 9022 0404 with no voicemail left and the associated sequential numbers all calling the same day, blocking this number is advisable. If your phone allows range blocking, you may want to block the entire 03 9022 04xx range to catch other numbers in the campaign.
What information should I have ready if I report 03 9022 0404 to ACMA?
When reporting 0390220404 to ACMA (acma.gov.au), note the date and time of the call(s), that the caller hung up without leaving a message, that you received multiple similar numbers the same day, and the provider (Netsip). Do not call back - just report the details via the online form.
Could 03 9022 0404 be a legitimate business number that's just calling the wrong person repeatedly?
While possible, the pattern reported for 03 9022 0404 (sequential numbers calling the same day, no voicemail left, immediate hang-up on answer) is inconsistent with legitimate business calling practices. A real business would leave a message or identify itself. The Netsip VoIP provisioning and repeated-call behaviour suggest this is part of a coordinated campaign rather than accidental contact.
