Mixed Reports for 03 9978 6989
The number 03 9978 6989 (also written as 0399786989) has attracted three community reports with conflicting patterns. One contributor confirmed a legitimate voicemail from Audika Hearing Aids, a known hearing aid provider. However, two other contributors reported concerning behaviour from the same number: daily calls that hang up before answering machine activation, and repeated hang-ups when the call connects.
This allocation data shows 0399786989 is registered as a local service through AAPT Limited in Victoria. The mixed reporting pattern suggests either multiple calls from the same business line, a number being misused, or potential spoofing activity using a legitimate number.
What Contributors Reported About 03 9978 6989
One contributor received a voicemail from 03 9978 6989 relating to their existing hearing aid account with Audika, which aligns with legitimate business contact. However, the other two reports paint a different picture.
A second contributor noted that 0399786989 rings daily but hangs up before they can answer, with no message left. This contributor felt the pattern was "off" - suggesting deliberate hang-ups rather than accidental disconnection. A third contributor reported similar behaviour: multiple calls over several days from 03 9978 6989 that disconnect as soon as the answering machine activates.
The timing pattern is notable - answering machine hang-ups specifically suggest the caller may be checking if a line is monitored or attempting to identify active numbers, rather than genuine business outreach.
Call Patterns and Timing
The reports span different timeframes, with one recent cluster in January 2026 showing daily calls from 0399786989. The most recent report from May 2025 documented "several times in last few days," indicating intermittent activity rather than a single isolated call.
All reported calls from 03 9978 6989 feature the same behaviour: either no message left, or immediate hang-up upon reaching an automated system. Legitimate business calls typically leave a message or complete the connection.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9978 6989
Given the mixed reporting, take these steps if 0399786989 calls:
- Do not: Return the call immediately if you don't recognise the number
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail and listen for a message
- Do: If it's genuine business contact (like Audika follow-up), they will leave a message with details
- Do: Block the number if calls continue without messages after several attempts
- Do: Verify any callback requests by contacting the organisation directly using a number from their official website, not by returning the call
If you're an Audika customer and recognise the voicemail as legitimate hearing aid follow-up, answering future calls from 03 9978 6989 may be appropriate. If you're not a customer and receive calls from 0399786989, do not engage.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 03 9978 6989 a legitimate Audika number?
One contributor received a legitimate voicemail from 03 9978 6989 relating to Audika Hearing Aids, confirming the number can be used for genuine business contact. However, this doesn't explain the daily silent calls and answering machine hang-ups reported by others calling 0399786989. The number may be used for legitimate outreach, but unwanted hang-up calls suggest either multiple uses of the same line or potential misuse.
Why does 03 9978 6989 hang up when the answering machine comes on?
Two contributors specifically noted that 0399786989 disconnects upon reaching the answering machine, rather than leaving a message. This pattern can indicate an automated callback verification system checking if a line is active, or deliberate hang-ups to avoid leaving traceable messages. Legitimate businesses typically complete calls or leave messages with contact details.
Should I return a call from 0399786989?
Not immediately. If 03 9978 6989 calls, allow the call to go to voicemail. If a message is left with clear business details (like Audika appointment information), you can verify the number independently by contacting the organisation directly using details from their official website. Returning unknown numbers directly can confirm your line is active to unwanted callers.
Does 03 9978 6989 use call spoofing or a fake number?
The allocation data confirms 0399786989 is registered as a legitimate local service in Victoria through AAPT Limited. However, one confirmed legitimate voicemail alongside repeated silent/hang-up calls suggests either: multiple uses of the same business line, incorrect dialling by an automated system, or potential spoofing where the number is being mimicked. Spoofing would require reporting to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
How many people have reported 03 9978 6989?
Three contributors have submitted reports about 0399786989. One reported a legitimate Audika voicemail, one reported daily calls that hang up before answering, and one reported multiple hang-ups when connecting to the answering machine. The mixed pattern means experiences vary significantly.
What should I do if I keep getting daily calls from 03 9978 6989?
If 0399786989 continues calling daily without leaving messages, block the number in your phone settings. If the calls persist or feel threatening, report them to ACMA at acma.gov.au and lodge a complaint with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. Document the dates and times of calls from 03 9978 6989 for your report, and consider adding your experience to Reverseau to help other Australians.
