Uncertain Call Report for 0420 135 595
A contributor has flagged a call from 0420 135 595 (also written as 0420135595) that raised suspicion due to caller silence. When the recipient answered and asked what the caller wished to discuss, the caller provided no response and the call disconnected.
This type of behaviour - answering a call but remaining silent when addressed - can indicate a callback scam attempt or an automated system testing whether a number is active. The lack of response when directly questioned is a common pattern in certain scam operations.
What Happened When the Call Connected
The call from 0420 135 595 connected to the recipient's iPhone, but when asked directly about the purpose of the call, the caller did not respond. Rather than continuing to engage with an unresponsive caller, the contributor decided to block the number.
This pattern of silent calls followed by disconnection when challenged is distinct from typical telemarketing calls, where callers usually respond when greeted.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0420 135 595
If 0420 135 595 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call if you don't recognise the number, engage in extended conversation with silent callers, or assume silence means a wrong number worth calling back
- Do: Let calls from unknown numbers go to voicemail, hang up immediately if the caller is silent or unresponsive, block the number if it calls again
- Consider: Not answering unknown mobile numbers (0400-0499) unless you're expecting a call from that range
Report Patterns

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I be concerned about a call from 0420 135 595 where the caller said nothing?
Possibly. A single silent call can be a misdial, but when combined with no response when challenged - as in the report for 0420 135 595 (0420135595) - it may indicate a callback probe or robocall system. Blocking the number is a sensible precaution if it calls again.
What does it mean if a caller goes silent when I ask them a question?
For the call from 0420 135 595, the silence when directly questioned suggests the call may not have been made by a live person, or the caller intentionally disconnected. This is common in robocall operations that are testing number validity rather than attempting immediate conversation.
Is 0420 135 595 a scam number?
One report describes suspicious behaviour from 0420 135 595 (answering then providing no response), but a single report is not enough to definitively classify it as a scam. However, the pattern warrants caution and blocking if repeat calls occur.
What should I do if the same number calls me after I block it?
If 0420 135 595 continues calling after blocking, report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and consider reporting on Reverseau. Persistent calls from silent numbers can indicate either a legitimate callback attempt with a technical fault, or sustained scam probing.
Could the call from 0420 135 595 have been a technical error?
It's possible, but the fact that the caller disconnected immediately when addressed rather than explaining a misdial is suspicious. A genuine misdial would typically include an apology or explanation.
How do I report a silent call number like 0420 135 595 to authorities?
You can report 0420 135 595 to the ACMA (acma.gov.au) if you believe it's part of a pattern of harassment or scam attempts. Provide details including the date, time, and the silent nature of the call. You can also contribute your report here on Reverseau to help other Australians.
