WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does a silent call from 03 9022 9665 mean?
When 03 9022 9665 hangs up immediately after you answer, it typically means an automated system is testing whether your number is active, or the caller is screening calls. One contributor who answered 0390229665 experienced exactly this - immediate silence followed by disconnection. Do not call back, as this confirms your number is monitored.
Is 03 9022 9665 a legitimate business number?
While 0390229665 is provisioned as a local Victorian service number through NetSIP Pty Ltd, the reports suggest the number is being used for unsolicited marketing (solar panels) and silent calls. A legitimate business would engage in conversation, not hang up when questioned. Verify any offer independently rather than trusting the caller.
Why did the solar panel caller from 03 9022 9665 hang up when I asked a question?
One contributor reported that the caller from 03 9022 9665 promoting solar panels hung up rather than answer questions. This is typical of high-pressure sales operations working from tight scripts who cannot handle objections. It suggests the offer may not withstand scrutiny and the caller wanted to avoid further engagement.
Should I register 0390229665 with the Do Not Call Register?
Yes. If 03 9022 9665 called you about solar panels or any unsolicited product, you can register at donotcall.gov.au. This is a formal opt-out for telemarketing calls. While it may not stop all unwanted calls, it creates a record and gives you grounds to report violations to the ACMA.
What should I do if 03 9022 9665 keeps calling me?
After a second call from 0390229665, block the number using your phone's built-in blocking feature. You can also report it to the ACMA at acma.gov.au and lodge a complaint about telemarketing harassment. Keep a record of the dates and times you receive calls from 03 9022 9665, as this helps when reporting.
Could 03 9022 9665 be a spoofed number?
It's possible that 0390229665 is spoofed (the display number disguises the actual caller). The pattern of silent calls followed by abrupt disconnections on sales pitches from 03 9022 9665 suggests the caller may be operating deceptively. Always verify offers directly using official contact details you find independently, never numbers provided by the caller.
