Silent Call and Nuisance Reports for 03 9022 3222
Five contributors have reported suspicious and nuisance activity from 03 9022 3222 (also written as 0390223222). The majority of reports involve silent calls where the caller hangs up immediately after being answered, or the line goes dead when contributors attempt to return the call. This pattern is consistent with robocall systems or callback scam infrastructure testing.
The number is allocated as a local service in Victoria via NetSIP Pty Ltd. Three reports classify the calls as nuisance, while two flag the activity as suspicious due to the disconnection when callbacks are attempted.
What Contributors Experienced from 03 9022 3222
Two separate contributors reported receiving calls from 0390223222 where only silence greeted them upon answering. One contributor noted they usually screen unfamiliar numbers through their answering machine but accidentally picked up this call. Another described answering to hear nothing, followed by the caller hanging up. Both instances occurred within days of each other in late September 2025.
A pattern of repeated incoming calls also features in the reports. One contributor mentioned keeping getting calls from 03 9022 3222, with attempts to call back resulting in a disconnected message. A second report from late January 2026 similarly described trying to return the call only to receive a disconnection notification.
One contributor who answered received a hang-up immediately, suggesting automated dialling systems cycling through numbers.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports span from late September 2025 through early February 2026, indicating persistent activity from 03 9022 3222 over several months. The calls arrive as missed calls, prompting contributors to investigate by ringing back. The pattern of silent calls followed by hang-ups, combined with disconnected callback responses, suggests potential callback scam infrastructure or robocall system testing rather than legitimate business communication.
No consistent time window is noted in the reports, though two silent call incidents occurred early morning (around 04:00-04:40 UTC equivalent).
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 3222
If 03 9022 3222 calls you:
- Do not: Return calls to numbers you don't recognise, especially if the original call was silent or suspicious
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and avoid returning the call
- Do not: Engage if you accidentally answer and hear silence - simply hang up
- Do: Be aware that silent calls followed by hang-ups can indicate robocall testing or callback scam systems

Why Callback Attempts to 0390223222 Result in Disconnection
When contributors attempt to return calls to 03 9022 3222, they receive a disconnected message. This is a hallmark of callback scams or robocall infrastructure. Scammers use temporary or spoofed numbers that only work for outbound dialling - they cannot receive incoming calls. The disconnection message protects them from being contacted back and helps them avoid detection by authorities.
Do not attempt to return calls to unknown numbers. If 0390223222 calls you and you don't recognise it, blocking is the safest action.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do I get a disconnected message when I try to call back 03 9022 3222?
Multiple contributors reported this exact issue with 0390223222. Disconnection upon callback is a common tactic used by robocall and scam operations. These numbers are often set up to only make outbound calls and cannot receive incoming calls. This design prevents people from calling back and helps scammers avoid being traced. Never attempt to return calls to unknown numbers - if 03 9022 3222 calls you, let it go and block the number instead.
Is 03 9022 3222 a legitimate business number?
The allocation data shows 0390223222 is registered as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd, but this alone does not confirm legitimacy. The reported behaviour - silent calls, immediate hang-ups, and disconnections on callback - is inconsistent with legitimate business communication. If a real business needs to contact you, they will speak when you answer or leave a voicemail. Silent calls from 03 9022 3222 suggest automated systems rather than genuine customer service.
What should I do if I accidentally answer a call from 0390223222?
If you pick up and hear silence or the caller hangs up immediately, simply disconnect and block the number. Do not attempt to call back, as contributors report 0390223222 becomes disconnected when you try. Blocking 03 9022 3222 on your phone will prevent future calls from this number. If calls persist from other numbers showing similar patterns, report them to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Can I report 03 9022 3222 to stop the calls?
Yes. Report 0390223222 to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at acma.gov.au, which investigates nuisance and scam calls. You can also lodge a report with Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. Additionally, block the number directly on your phone. If you're a registered user on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and receiving unwanted marketing calls, you can file a complaint there as well. Contributing your experience to Reverseau helps warn other Australians.
Why do I keep getting repeated calls from 03 9022 3222?
Two contributors reported receiving multiple calls from 0390223222 over time. Repeated calls despite no legitimate connection suggest automated dialling systems. Your phone number may have been added to a robocall list or target list for testing. Blocking 03 9022 3222 is the most effective immediate action. If calls from different numbers continue following a similar pattern (silent, hang-up, disconnection on callback), report the pattern to ACMA and consider contacting your phone provider.
Should I be concerned about a silent call from 0390223222?
Yes, you should be cautious. Silent calls from 03 9022 3222 followed by hang-ups are characteristic of robocall and callback scam systems. These systems test whether a number is active, valid, and monitored by a person before advancing to a scam attempt. Two contributors experienced this exact pattern from 0390223222 in September 2025. Block the number immediately and do not attempt to call back. If you receive future calls from 03 9022 3222 or similar numbers, report them to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
