One community report for 0427 291 301 (0427291301): caller hangs up silently and doesn't respond to SMS replies or pickup attempts.
Recurring Silent Calls from 0427 291 301
A single contributor has reported receiving calls from 0427 291 301 (also written as 0427291301) on a recurring monthly basis. The defining characteristic of this Telstra mobile number is that the caller does not engage when contacted back, either by SMS or when the call is answered directly.
The pattern reported suggests this is not a straightforward telemarketing or scam operation - the lack of response when the contributor picks up or replies by SMS indicates either an automated system with no live operator queue, a number used sporadically, or a silent caller avoiding direct contact.
What Happens When You Answer or Reply to 0427 291 301
According to the contributor's report of 0427291301, answering the incoming call results in silence - the caller does not speak or present any message. Similarly, when the contributor attempted to reply by SMS to establish what the call was about, there was no response from the number. This pattern of one-way calling with no reciprocal communication has persisted over several months.
Call Frequency and Timing
The contributor reports calls from 0427 291 301 arriving approximately once per month over an extended period. This regularity suggests either an automated dialler on a fixed schedule, or deliberate contact attempts from someone tracking the number's activity status. The monthly recurrence is notable because it lacks the intensity of typical scam or spam patterns, which tend to cluster or escalate.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0427 291 301
If 0427 291 301 calls you and no one speaks, do not assume it is safe - silent calls can indicate callback scams, where the goal is to prompt you to call back to a premium or international number. The safest approach is to:
Hang up immediately and do not call back. Block the number in your phone settings to prevent future calls from 0427291301. If the calls persist and become a nuisance, you can report the number to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and also lodge a complaint with your phone provider, Telstra.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 0427 291 301 keep calling but hang up when I answer?
The one contributor who reported 0427291301 describes exactly this behaviour - calls arrive monthly, but there is no response when answered. This could indicate an automated system checking if the number is active, a malfunctioning dialler, or someone testing line connectivity. Do not call back to 0427 291 301, as this may trigger further contact.
Is 0427291301 a scam number?
One report has flagged 0427 291 301 as uncertain rather than a confirmed scam. The pattern of silent recurring calls without engagement when answered is unusual - it lacks the aggressive or persuasive elements of typical scams. However, the mystery nature of the calls warrants caution. Block the number and do not engage.
What should I do if 0427 291 301 keeps calling every month?
Block 0427291301 in your phone's blocked numbers list. If calls persist after blocking, report 0427 291 301 to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and to Telstra directly as the service provider. Document the dates and times of calls for your report.
Should I try calling 0427 291 301 back to find out who it is?
No. The contributor's experience with 0427291301 shows that calling back produces no response. Initiating contact with this number could flag your line as active and increase future call frequency. It is safer to block 0427 291 301 and let your provider handle investigation.
Could 0427291301 be a callback scam?
Silent or missed calls that prompt callbacks are a known scam vector. Although 0427 291 301 shows no spoken scam script based on the one report, the pattern of recurring silent calls fits the callback scam model. Do not initiate contact with 0427291301 - this is the primary risk.
How can I report 0427 291 301 to authorities?
Report 0427291301 to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for nuisance calling or silent calls, and to the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au). Since 0427 291 301 is a Telstra mobile, also contact Telstra's abuse reporting line. Provide dates and times of calls when you report 0427291301.
