Silent Call Reports for 03 9022 3154
One contributor has reported receiving a silent call from 03 9022 3154 (also written as 0390223154). The caller remained silent after the call was answered, then hung up without speaking. This behaviour is characteristic of callback scams or automated robocall systems testing for active phone numbers.
The number 0390223154 is allocated as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd. Silent calls of this type often indicate the number has been added to a calling list for potential callback exploitation or further targeting.
What This Type of Call Means
When someone answers a call from 03 9022 3154 and hears only silence before disconnection, it typically signals one of two scenarios. First, the call may be from an automated robocall system testing whether the number is active and monitored by a real person. Second, it could be a callback scam where the caller intends to call back later impersonating a service provider or authority figure, banking on the recipient recognising the number and returning the call.
Callers using this tactic rely on curiosity or concern to prompt a callback to 0390223154, at which point they can launch their actual scam attempt.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 3154
If 03 9022 3154 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, answer if it rings again, or engage if someone speaks
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and do not return any callback
- Do: Be extra cautious if the number calls again - silent calls followed by immediate callback attempts are a known scam pattern
Blocking 0390223154 on your phone will prevent future calls from this number and reduce the chance of falling into a callback trap.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call 03 9022 3154 and then hang up?
Silent calls are typically used to verify that a phone number is active and monitored by a real person. Callers may use this information for callback scams later, or to add the number to a list for targeted impersonation attempts. One contributor reported exactly this behaviour from 0390223154 - silence followed by disconnection.
Is a silent call from 0390223154 always a scam?
Not always, but silent calls are high-risk. They can occasionally result from technical glitches, but the deliberate pattern of answering and hanging up from 03 9022 3154 suggests intentional testing. The safest approach is to block the number and never return a call.
What should I do if 03 9022 3154 calls me back?
Do not answer. If the number calls multiple times, it confirms the callback scam pattern. Block 0390223154 immediately on your phone. If someone does speak on a subsequent call from 03 9022 3154, hang up without providing any information, especially not personal or financial details.
Can I report silent calls from 0390223154 to the police?
Silent and nuisance calls are primarily handled by ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) rather than local police. Report to acma.gov.au with details of when 03 9022 3154 called and what happened. If a callback from this number involves fraud or impersonation, escalate to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Is 03 9022 3154 a real business number?
03 9022 3154 (0390223154) is allocated to a local service provider (NetSIP Pty Ltd) in Victoria, but this allocation does not verify legitimacy. Scammers frequently use or spoof legitimate-looking local numbers. The silent call behaviour from this number is a clear warning sign.
How do I block calls from 03 9022 3154?
On most Australian phones, you can block 0390223154 by adding it to your blocked contacts or using your carrier's spam-blocking service.
