Silent Call Reports for 04 6809 0125
A contributor has reported receiving a silent call from 04 6809 0125 (also written as 0468090125). The caller did not speak, left no voicemail, and the line remained silent when the contributor answered. This type of call pattern is commonly associated with automated systems testing active phone numbers or callback scams where the caller hangs up if a person answers.
The number is registered as an Optus mobile service, which means it appears to be a standard Australian mobile number rather than a business line. Silent calls from mobile numbers can indicate several scenarios: the caller may have been screening calls, testing whether the number was active, or using automated dialling software that disconnects when a human answers.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 6809 0125
If 0468090125 calls you and remains silent:
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail if you don't recognise the number
- Do: Block the number if calls repeat
- Do: Note the time and date of the call
- Don't: Call the number back - this confirms your number is active to scammers
- Don't: Press any buttons or respond to prompts
- Don't: Assume silence means a wrong number if calls continue
Hanging up immediately is your best response to a silent call from 04 6809 0125. Returning the call or staying on the line to investigate could trigger callback scam tactics, where the caller uses expensive international numbers to generate charges on your account.
Why Silent Calls Happen
Silent calls from numbers like 04 6809 0125 typically occur when:
- Automated dialling systems hang up if they detect a human voice
- Call centres use preview diallers that connect calls unpredictably
- Scammers are validating whether a number is monitored or active
- The caller is screening calls and disconnecting before speaking
The single report about 0468090125 doesn't indicate a widespread campaign, but silent calls are worth monitoring. If you receive additional calls from 04 6809 0125, updating your block list and reporting the pattern will help the community understand whether this number represents an ongoing issue.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I call back a silent call from 04 6809 0125?
No. Do not call back 0468090125. Returning the call confirms to scammers that your number is active and monitored, which can lead to more calls or callback scams involving expensive numbers. If 04 6809 0125 calls again, block it instead.
Why did someone call from 04 6809 0125 and say nothing?
Silent calls from 0468090125 are typically caused by automated dialling systems that hang up when they detect a human voice. This allows call centres to screen numbers or check if accounts are active. The contributor who reported this number experienced exactly this behaviour - silence on the line with no message.
Is 04 6809 0125 a scam number?
Based on the single community report, 04 6809 0125 was flagged for a silent call with no voicemail. While one silent call doesn't confirm a scam, this behaviour is consistent with automated screening systems. Block the number if it calls repeatedly, and report further calls to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
What should I do if 0468090125 keeps calling?
If you receive multiple calls from 04 6809 0125: block the number in your phone settings, do not answer or call back, and report it to ACMA and Scamwatch. Each time you receive a call, note the date and time. If charges appear on your Optus bill linked to 0468090125, contact Optus customer service immediately.
Could 04 6809 0125 be a wrong number?
Possibly, but repeated silent calls from 0468090125 suggest automated dialling rather than a genuine misdial. A real wrong number usually results in the caller speaking and apologising when you answer. If 04 6809 0125 calls only once and never again, it was likely an error. If it happens multiple times, treat it as a nuisance call and block it.
How do I block 04 6809 0125 on my phone?
On most Australian phones: Open the recent call from 04 6809 0125, select 'Block' or 'Block number', and confirm. Some phones allow you to add 0468090125 directly to a blocked list in Settings > Call Settings > Blocked Numbers. Check your phone's instructions, or contact your provider Optus for device-specific help.
