Disconnected Optus Mobile - 04 1142 1314
A single contributor reported receiving a missed call from 04 1142 1314 (also written as 0411421314). When they attempted to return the call, they received an Optus message indicating the number was disconnected.
The number is registered as an Optus mobile service. The disconnection message suggests 0411421314 may no longer be active, though the call itself originated from this line before being disconnected or deactivated.
What This Means
A disconnected number callback can happen for several reasons:
- The number was recently deactivated by the subscriber
- The account was closed and Optus has recycled the number
- The SIM card was cancelled or replaced
- The number is between accounts during a phone plan change
In this case, the missed call from 04 1142 1314 came before the disconnection occurred, or the number was already in the process of being deactivated. If you receive further calls from 0411421314, you can safely disregard them as the number appears to be inactive.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does 'disconnected' mean when I call 04 1142 1314 back?
It means the Optus mobile number 0411421314 is no longer active. The subscriber either cancelled their plan, switched providers, or the account was closed. Optus's automated message confirms the number cannot receive or make new calls. If you missed a call from 04 1142 1314, it likely came during the final moments before deactivation, or the number has since been recycled to another customer.
Is 04 1142 1314 a scam number?
Not based on available reports. The single report about 0411421314 only mentions a missed call and subsequent disconnection message when calling back. There is no evidence of fraud, impersonation, or scam tactics associated with 04 1142 1314. The disconnection suggests the number is simply no longer in use.
Why did 04 1142 1314 call me if it's disconnected?
The call from 04 1142 1314 (0411421314) likely arrived before the Optus mobile was fully deactivated, or while the disconnection process was underway. It's also possible the call was queued or delayed. Once a number reaches disconnected status, as the contributor experienced, it cannot make new outbound calls. If you receive additional calls from 0411421314, they may be from a different number that appears similar.
Should I block 04 1142 1314?
If you receive repeated calls from 04 1142 1314 (0411421314) after confirming it's disconnected, blocking it is a reasonable precaution. However, since the number appears inactive and only one report exists, you may not receive further contact. Block 0411421314 only if the calls continue after you've attempted to call back and confirmed the disconnection.
Can a disconnected number call me?
Typically, no. Once Optus has disconnected 04 1142 1314, the line should not be capable of making new calls. The missed call this contributor received from 0411421314 likely came seconds or minutes before the disconnection was finalised. If you're receiving calls from a number that also shows as disconnected when you call back, it could be a spoofed number (where scammers fake the caller ID) - in that case, report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
How do I report a disconnected number like 04 1142 1314?
If 0411421314 keeps calling despite being disconnected, report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au) as an unwanted call. You can also file a report on Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if you believe the number was spoofed (fake caller ID) by scammers.
