Community reports for 03 9022 3259 (0390223259) describe silent calls that hang up on answer and unsolicited solar panel sales pitches citing government rebates.
Silent Calls and Solar Sales from 03 9022 3259
Two contributors have reported activity from 03 9022 3259 (also written as 0390223259), a Victorian local service number. The reports indicate a mix of silent calls that disconnect immediately upon answer and unsolicited sales calls promoting solar panel installations. One contributor experienced a silent call where the line went dead as soon as they picked up, while another reached a call centre operator attempting to sell solar panels with claims about government rebates.
The Victorian allocation for 0390223259 suggests calls originating from or routed through Victoria, though this does not necessarily indicate the legitimate business behind the number. The use of a local service number combined with silent call tactics is a common pattern in automated dialling systems that drop calls when a human answers.
What Callers from 03 9022 3259 Say and Do
The solar sales call from 03 9022 3259 involved a call centre operator promoting government-backed solar rebates. This approach commonly targets householders by implying government support for solar installation, which can lend false credibility to the pitch. The contributor who answered the solar sales call from 0390223259 reported the caller responded appropriately when asked to remove their number from the contact list, then immediately blocked the number.
The silent call component is distinctive. One contributor simply answered 03 9022 3259 and heard nothing before the line disconnected. This pattern suggests either an automated dialling system testing whether the number is active, or a callback scam mechanism where the silent call prompts the recipient to call back the number (potentially incurring charges on premium-rate services, though this number does not appear to be premium-rate).
Report Patterns and Timing
Both reports came through answered calls, meaning the contributors actively picked up when 03 9022 3259 rang through. The silent call report arrived in January 2026, while the solar sales call was logged in September 2025. The time gap between reports suggests this number may cycle through different tactics or be used by multiple operators. The solar sales call came during typical business hours (5:33 AM is unusual but suggests automated outbound dialling), while the silent call occurred mid-morning (9:22 AM), both windows consistent with commercial call centre operations.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 3259
If 0390223259 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call if it disconnects, engage with solar sales pitches without independent verification, or provide personal or financial details
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail, hang up immediately if you answer a silent call, block the number in your phone settings, and verify any solar rebate claims directly with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (arena.gov.au) or your state government
- If solar sales: Request removal from their contact list (as the contributor did), and note that legitimate solar providers do not cold-call with high-pressure tactics
- If silent call: Do not call back, as this may be a callback scam probe or abandoned call from an auto-dialler

Understanding the Number Behind 03 9022 3259
The number 03 9022 3259 is allocated as a local service via netsip-pty-ltd in Victoria. This type of allocation is common for small business lines, call centres, and VoIP services. The fact that it's routing both silent calls and sales calls suggests either: (1) the same organisation running both tactics, (2) the number being spoofed by different operators, or (3) the number being sold or leased to multiple outbound dialling services. Community reports on Reverseau help distinguish between these scenarios as more data emerges about 0390223259.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 03 9022 3259 a real business number or spam?
The number 03 9022 3259 (0390223259) shows mixed activity. One contributor received a solar sales call that appeared to come from a call centre, while another experienced a silent call that disconnected immediately. The silent call pattern suggests automated dialling rather than a legitimate business. Block the number and do not return calls if it hangs up on you.
Why does 0390223259 hang up when I answer?
Silent calls from 03 9022 3259 are typically generated by automated dialling systems. When these systems detect a live person has answered, they either disconnect or attempt to route the call to an available operator. Some silent calls are also callback scam probes designed to confirm your number is active. Do not call the number back.
Should I trust solar rebate claims from 03 9022 3259?
No. The contributor who answered the solar sales call from 0390223259 reported the operator mentioned a government rebate, but unsolicited cold calls promoting solar with government backing are a common sales tactic. Verify any legitimate solar rebate information directly with your state government or the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (arena.gov.au), not through incoming calls from 03 9022 3259.
What should I do if 03 9022 3259 keeps calling?
Block 0390223259 in your phone settings. If the calls continue, report them to ACMA at acma.gov.au and register your number on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. Document each call with date and time, and add a report to Reverseau about 03 9022 3259 to help warn other Australians.
Is this number spoofed or legitimate?
03 9022 3259 is allocated to a VoIP service provider in Victoria, but allocation does not confirm legitimacy. The mix of silent calls and solar sales, combined with the silent call tactic, suggests this number may be used for automated outbound dialling. Whether spoofed or legitimately allocated, the calling behaviour reported warrants blocking 0390223259.
Can I report 03 9022 3259 to the government?
Yes. Report unsolicited calls from 0390223259 to ACMA at acma.gov.au. If the solar sales pitch involved misleading government claims, also report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. These agencies track patterns across many reports and can take action against persistent offenders using 03 9022 3259.
