WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a silent call and why would someone call 0426 617 000?
A silent call is when someone calls but remains silent when you answer, then hangs up. The call from 0426 617 000 reported on Reverseau fits this pattern. Silent calls are often generated by automated systems testing whether a number is active and monitored by a real person. Some callers use silent calls as part of callback scams, hoping you'll return the call to a premium-rate number. Others simply verify active numbers for targeting purposes later.
Should I return the call to 0426 617 000?
No. Do not return calls to 0426617000 or any unknown number that called you with silence. Returning the call confirms your number is active and monitored, which can lead to more nuisance calls or scam attempts. Silent callers are often automated systems or callback scammers - returning the call benefits them, not you.
Is 0426 617 000 definitely a scam?
Based on the single report, 0426617000 is flagged for silent call behaviour, but one report does not confirm a scam. Silent calls can indicate various things - automated testing, wrong number dialling, or connection issues. However, silent calls are commonly associated with nuisance activity. If you receive repeated silent calls from 0426 617 000, that pattern would be more concerning and worth reporting to ACMA.
How can I block 0426 617 000 on my phone?
On most Australian mobile phones, open your call history, find the number 0426617000, and select 'Block' or 'Add to Blocked Contacts'. On iPhone, swipe left on the number and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, tap the three-dot menu next to the number and choose 'Block'. Your Vodafone provider may also offer call filtering through their network - contact Vodafone's customer support to ask about filtering options for 0426 617 000 at the network level.
Why is 0426 617 000 a Vodafone number?
0426617000 is allocated to Vodafone Australia Pty Limited as a mobile number. This does not mean Vodafone is responsible for the call - the number may have been spoofed, compromised, or legitimately used by someone making nuisance calls. If you believe the number has been misused or spoofed, report it to Vodafone's abuse team so they can investigate.
What should I do if I receive multiple silent calls from 0426 617 000?
If you receive repeated silent calls from 0426617000, document each call with the date and time. Block the number immediately in your phone settings. Then report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au and to Reverseau with details of how many times 0426 617 000 has called. Repeated silent calls suggest systematic calling activity rather than a one-off misdial, and ACMA takes patterns of nuisance calling seriously.
