Seven contributors have reported incoming calls from 04 6800 2205 (also written as 0468002205) that display consistent patterns of silent calls and automated dialling activity. The number, allocated to Optus Mobile, has generated reports characterised by calls that connect but produce no audio, no message left, and immediate disconnection when contributors attempt to return the call.
The behaviour reported from 0468002205 suggests automated or low-engagement calling rather than traditional scam outreach. Contributors note that their phones have flagged 04 6800 2205 as spam, and multiple reports indicate the number makes no attempt at human conversation or voicemail contact.
What Callers from 04 6800 2205 Do
Contributors receiving calls from 04 6800 2205 consistently describe the same pattern: the call connects, silence follows, and the call ends without any person speaking or message being left. One contributor answered the call and reported it simply went quiet both times the number called. Another noted they received three calls in a couple of days, all at early hours, with the phone's spam detection triggering on 04 6800 2205.
When contributors attempted to call back 0468002205 to identify the caller, the line was immediately disconnected or unavailable. This disconnect between outbound calling and any ability to reach the number creates suspicion among contributors. Several reports mention no voicemail was ever left, despite multiple call attempts from 04 6800 2205.
Call Patterns and Timing
The timing of calls from 04 6800 2205 clusters around early morning and overnight hours. One contributor reported receiving three calls in a couple of days, all at early hours, which aligns with robocall and auto-dialler patterns. Another noted calls at times like 06:45, 05:57, 05:33, and 04:33 across multiple days. This concentration of early-hour calling is a hallmark of automated calling systems that dial large contact lists without regard for reasonable times.
The missed call nature of most reports from 0468002205 suggests the calls are not targeting engagement but rather testing line validity or harvesting responses. One contributor who did answer 04 6800 2205 encountered only silence, indicating no human operator or even a recorded message was deployed on connection.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 6800 2205
If 04 6800 2205 calls you:
- Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, return the call, or engage if a call does connect silently
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number on your phone, and avoid attempting to call back
- Do: Mark the call as spam or block it immediately in your phone settings
- Note: Silent calls that disconnect on answer have no legitimate business purpose and should never be responded to
Silent calls from 0468002205 are particularly low-risk in terms of immediate financial or personal harm, as no information is being solicited. However, the persistence of the pattern suggests the number may cycle back with variations or be sold to other calling operations. Blocking on first receipt prevents repeated disruption.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 04 6800 2205 keep calling but hang up when I answer?
Several contributors report the same pattern from 0468002205 - the number calls but produces only silence on connection. This is consistent with robocall systems testing whether a line is active and monitored. The system connects but doesn't deploy a recorded message or operator, then disconnects. This testing allows the calling operation to refine their contact list for future campaigns. Blocking 04 6800 2205 on your phone prevents these disruptions from recurring.
Is it dangerous to call back 04 6800 2205?
No - but it's pointless. Contributors who tried to call back 0468002205 report the line simply disconnects or is unavailable. This is by design. Calling back a robocall number does not connect you to anyone legitimate and wastes your time. The safest approach is to block 04 6800 2205 immediately and never attempt to return the call.
Why is 04 6800 2205 calling at 4-6am?
The early morning timing of calls from 0468002205 is typical of automated robocall systems. These operate on bulk dialling schedules that ignore time zones and reasonable hours, treating phone numbers as database entries rather than people. Contributors received calls from 04 6800 2205 at times like 04:33, 05:33, and 06:45. This pattern is not a mistake or oversight - it's how these systems operate. Blocking the number prevents future disruptions regardless of time.
Should I be concerned if my phone flags 04 6800 2205 as spam?
No - your phone's spam detection is working correctly. Multiple contributors report their phones flagged 0468002205 as spam automatically. This indicates the number matches patterns of known robocall or silent call activity. Trust your phone's assessment and block 04 6800 2205 without hesitation. The spam flag is based on widespread reporting and algorithmic analysis, not false positives.
Can I report 04 6800 2205 to stop the calls?
Reporting helps the community and authorities but won't stop calls from your specific line in the short term. However, multiple reports from 0468002205 do trigger investigation by the ACMA and pressure on the service provider (Optus Mobile, in this case). Report to acma.gov.au and consider adding your report to Reverseau's community database. Block the number on your phone immediately to prevent further disruption from 04 6800 2205.
Is 04 6800 2205 a legitimate Optus number?
The number is allocated to Optus Mobile, but that does not mean Optus is calling you. Scammers and robocall operators frequently spoof or misuse mobile numbers from legitimate providers. The pattern from 0468002205 - silent calls, early morning timing, no voicemail - suggests the number is either compromised or being used for automated calling activity outside normal business use. Do not assume legitimacy based on the provider allocation. Block 04 6800 2205 and verify any legitimate Optus contact through official channels (optus.com.au or their official customer service number).
