Fifteen contributors have reported contact from 04 8583 8245 (also written as 0485838245) over the past two months, with a clear pattern of silent calls and automated robocalls. The number is provisioned as a mobile service through Pivotel Satellite Pty Limited. Contributors consistently describe calls where the line connects but no one speaks, followed by immediate disconnection. Several reports specifically mention robocall behaviour with multiple call attempts in short timeframes.
The silence combined with repeated contact attempts suggests automated dialling rather than genuine customer service. One contributor who answered 0485838245 reported hearing call centre noise in the background before the caller hung up, indicating possible outbound calling infrastructure.

Multiple contributors report that 04 8583 8245 calls repeatedly without leaving voicemail or SMS messages. One contributor described receiving three calls in quick succession just before 5pm, followed by additional attempts around 1pm. Another noted the number called multiple times and "doesn't leave a message," indicating intent to connect live rather than deliver information.
A contributor who received calls from 0485838245 mentioned observing similar numbers (matching the first digits) attempting the same behaviour on the same day, suggesting coordinated calling campaigns or shared dialling infrastructure. The pattern of repeated attempts without message-leaving is typical of robocall systems probing for live answers rather than telemarketing pitches.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if 04 8583 8245 calls but hangs up immediately?
When 04 8583 8245 calls and disconnects without speaking, it typically indicates a robocall system testing whether your number is active and monitored by a human. Three contributors to Reverseau reported exactly this behaviour from 0485838245 - picking up to silence then immediate hangup. These "silent call" probes are often used to confirm live numbers for follow-up scam or spam campaigns. Do not call the number back.
Why does 04 8583 8245 call multiple times without leaving a message?
Multiple contributors reported 04 8583 8245 calling three or more times in short periods without ever leaving voicemail. This pattern is consistent with robocall dialling systems that attempt to reach live people rather than leave information. One contributor noted calls at 1pm and again before 5pm on the same day from 0485838245 and similar numbers, suggesting automated campaigns designed to achieve a live connection rather than deliver a message.
Is 04 8583 8245 a scam number?
Based on fifteen community reports, 04 8583 8245 exhibits strong characteristics of a robocall operation - silent calls, repeated contact with no message, and background call centre noise reported by one contributor. While one report mentioned an electricity plan pitch, the overwhelming majority of calls from 0485838245 are silent probes with no attempted sales pitch or message. Contributors describe the behaviour as "creepy" and indicative of automated systems rather than legitimate business contact.
Should I answer if 04 8583 8245 calls?

The safest approach is to let it go to voicemail and block the number immediately if it calls again.
Can I block 04 8583 8245 on my phone?
