Silent Call Reports for 0402 077 036
Two contributors have reported calls from 0402 077 036 (also written as 0402077036), an Optus mobile number, where the caller rang but left no message. One contributor answered the call from 0402 077 036 and heard nothing on the line, while another missed the call entirely. The lack of voicemail or follow-up contact leaves the intent unclear, though both instances fit a pattern of silent or mystery calls.
The Optus mobile allocation suggests this could be a personal number rather than a business or automated service, though silent calls can originate from various sources including callback scams, number spoofing tests, or legitimate misdialled calls.
What Reports Indicate About 0402 077 036
One contributor answered when 0402 077 036 called but reported no response on the other end. A second contributor received a missed call from 0402077036 with genuine uncertainty about whether the call was important or simply a nuisance. Neither caller left a message or attempted to reconnect, which is typical of silent or accidental contact patterns.
The timing of the two reports (both within hours on the same day) suggests either coincidental contact from the same number or possibly related activity, though two incidents alone don't establish a clear pattern.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0402 077 036
If 0402 077 036 calls you:
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail, especially silent ones
- Do: Block the number if it calls repeatedly or you feel uncomfortable
- Do: Check voicemail to see if a message was left
- Do not: Return the call to an unknown number, as this may confirm your number is active
- Do not: Provide personal information if you do answer
Silent calls can sometimes be part of callback scam tactics, where numbers are tested to identify active phone lines for follow-up contact. Blocking 0402077036 after a single silent call is optional, but blocking after repeated attempts is reasonable.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 0402 077 036 a scam number?
Based on current reports, 0402 077 036 shows silent call behaviour rather than confirmed scam activity. Two contributors reported calls with no message left. While this pattern can indicate callback scams or number testing, it could also be accidental contact or a misdialled number. Monitor for repeated calls from 0402077036 and block if the pattern continues.
Why would someone call from 0402 077 036 and not leave a message?
Silent calls without voicemail can occur for several reasons: accidental dialling, number spoofing tests, callback scam verification (to confirm your number is active), technical issues, or simply wrong numbers. The Optus mobile allocation suggests 0402077036 could be a personal number, though mobile numbers can be spoofed. If calls from 0402 077 036 become frequent, blocking is recommended.
Should I answer calls from 0402077036?
You're not obligated to answer calls from unknown numbers like 0402077036. Letting them go to voicemail allows you to assess whether a message was left and decide if contact is necessary. If you do answer 0402 077 036 and hear silence, hang up immediately and do not call back, as this may confirm your number is monitored.
How many times has 0402 077 036 been reported?
0402 077 036 has 2 community reports on file. Both describe silent or unanswered calls with no voicemail message. This limited report count means the pattern is still unclear, so further community reports would help establish whether 0402077036 poses a broader concern.
Can I block 0402 077 036 on my phone?
