Silent Calls and Robocalls from 03 9022 0464

Three contributors have reported unwanted contact from 03 9022 0464 (also written as 0390220464), a Victorian local service number. The reports indicate a pattern of silent calls and automated robocall behaviour rather than active conversation attempts. One contributor described receiving an automated voicemail from 0390220464 containing only a computer-generated "goodbye" message with no introduction or callback information.

The most recent silent call report noted immediate hang-ups upon answering. When one contributor attempted to call back 03 9022 0464, they found the number disconnected or no longer in service, which is typical behaviour of spoofed or temporary numbers used for nuisance calling campaigns.

What Contributors Experienced with 03 9022 0464

Silent calls represent a specific category of nuisance calling where callers disconnect immediately after someone answers. One contributor who picked up a call from 03 9022 0464 reported the caller hung up instantly. Another received a robocall voicemail from 0390220464 featuring only a synthesised voice saying "goodbye" - a common tactic used by automated dialling systems to confirm active phone numbers for later targeting.

A contributor who blocked 03 9022 0464 after the initial silent call subsequently discovered the number appeared disconnected when they attempted a callback. This disconnection pattern, combined with the voiceless robocall message, suggests the number may have been used temporarily for a nuisance calling batch and then decommissioned or reassigned.

Report Patterns and Timing

The three reports span from September 2025 to January 2026, with no indication of repeated calls to individual contributors. The distribution across voicemail and answered calls suggests 03 9022 0464 was used as part of a broader calling campaign rather than targeted harassment of specific people. Two of the three reports involve the robocall or silent call tactic, indicating this number's primary use was testing active numbers or delivering automated messages rather than connecting to live operators.
