Nuisance Call Reports for 03 9022 6742
Two contributors have reported calls from 03 9022 6742 (also written as 0390226742) that disconnect immediately when answered. Both reports describe calls that terminate without any message, voicemail, or follow-up - a pattern consistent with either random number dialling or automated call systems testing line validity.
The number is allocated as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd. The silent hangup pattern reported for 0390226742 suggests the caller may be using automated systems to screen calls or gather contact information rather than attempting genuine communication.
What Callers from 03 9022 6742 Do
One contributor answered a call from 03 9022 6742 and identified themselves with their company name, at which point the caller immediately hung up. Another report describes an interstate call that dropped without any message left.
This behaviour - hanging up when a person answers or when they identify as a business - is typical of telemarketing or list-cleaning operations. Callers often disconnect when they detect a business line or recorded greeting, as these are less valuable targets for their purposes.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports for 03 9022 6742 span from late November through early December, with one call received during business hours (11:39 AM) and another outside standard business hours (1:13 AM). The timing variation and the fact that both calls terminated without engagement suggests this may be automated or semi-automated dialling rather than a targeted campaign.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 9022 6742 hang up when I answer?
Contributors report that callers from 03 9022 6742 disconnect immediately or when they identify themselves. This is often a sign of automated dialling systems that screen calls or check line validity. Some telemarketers also hang up when they detect a business line or recorded greeting, as these are less profitable targets.
Is 0390226742 a legitimate business number?
The number 0390226742 is allocated as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd, but the reported silent hangup pattern suggests it may not be used for genuine customer service. Legitimate businesses leave messages or engage when someone answers.
Should I call back 03 9022 6742?
No. If 03 9022 6742 calls and disconnects without leaving a voicemail, there is no legitimate reason to return the call. Calling back an unknown number that hung up on you exposes you to potential costs and further contact from unwanted callers.
