Silent Call Reports for 03 9022 7248
One contributor has reported receiving silent calls from 03 9022 7248 (also written as 0390227248). The pattern involves the caller hanging up immediately when the call is answered, with the contributor noting that calls continue to arrive from different numbers sharing the same 9022 prefix. This behaviour is characteristic of silent call campaigns, where callers disconnect the moment someone picks up.
The number is allocated as a local service through NetSIP Pty Ltd in Victoria. The use of multiple numbers with the same prefix suggests a coordinated calling pattern rather than an isolated incident.
What This Silent Call Pattern Indicates
Silent calls from 03 9022 7248 and related 9022 numbers may serve several purposes. The immediate disconnection when answered suggests the caller is using automated systems to test which phone numbers are active and answered by real people. This information is often used to refine target lists for follow-up scam or telemarketing campaigns.
The contributor's observation that calls originate from multiple numbers with the same 9022 prefix indicates this is not a misdial or isolated wrong number situation. Instead, it points to a systematic calling operation testing phone numbers across a range within the 03 9022 block.

The report for 03 9022 7248 was received on 1 December 2025. The contributor answered the call directly, allowing them to observe the immediate hang-up behaviour.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 9022 7248 hang up when I answer the call?
Silent calls like those from 03 9022 7248 (0390227248) hang up immediately because automated systems are testing whether your number is active and answered by a real person. This information is then sold or used to launch scam or telemarketing campaigns. The hang-up is intentional, not a misdial.
Why are calls coming from different numbers with the same 9022 prefix?
The contributor reported that 03 9022 7248 calls came alongside calls from other 9022 numbers. This pattern indicates a coordinated campaign using multiple numbers within the same prefix block to reach as many people as possible while avoiding detection or blocking of a single number.
What should I do if 03 9022 7248 keeps calling me?
Block 03 9022 7248 (0390227248) in your phone settings and block other 9022 numbers if they follow a similar pattern. If calls persist after blocking, report them to the ACMA at acma.gov.au. Do not attempt to call the number back, as this confirms your number is active for future campaigns.
Is 0390227248 dangerous if it just hangs up?
While 0390227248 itself may only deliver a silent call, the hang-up behaviour indicates your number has been flagged as active. The real risk is that your number may be sold to scammers who will follow up with actual scam calls. Report the number to prevent future contact from related campaigns.
Can I report 03 9022 7248 to the Do Not Call Register?
You can lodge a complaint about 03 9022 7248 on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if you have previously asked the caller to stop. However, silent call campaigns often originate from offshore or illegal operations, so reporting to the ACMA at acma.gov.au is more effective for enforcement action.
Should I answer calls from 0390227248 to tell them to stop?
No. Do not engage with silent calls from 0390227248 or attempt to communicate with the caller. Simply block the number and any related 9022 numbers. Answering or responding confirms your number is monitored by a person, which makes it more valuable for follow-up scam campaigns.
