What Callers from 0485 867 394 Say

Contributors describe two distinct call types from 0485 867 394. The first involves direct solar sales pitches. One contributor answered the call and identified it as a solar sales call, then attempted to identify the caller by ringing back.

When a contributor dialled back 0485867394, an automated recording identified itself as Optichoice and requested the caller's phone number to be entered to stop receiving calls. This request raised immediate red flags for the contributor, who noted the interaction was "very suspicious." Legitimate organisations typically do not request personal information via automated systems to prevent contact.

Report Patterns and Call Behaviour

Most reports from 0485 867 394 involve missed calls. Four out of six reports describe incoming calls that contributors did not answer. In two cases, no voicemail was left, and contributors rejected the calls outright without engaging.

One contributor received multiple missed calls from 0485867394 over several days in March 2025, suggesting either deliberate repeat dialling or automated calling patterns. The calls came at different times, with one missed call at 02:16 AM, another at 02:45 AM, and previous activity days earlier.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0485 867 394

If 0485 867 394 calls you:

  • Do not: Return the call, enter your phone number into automated systems, or engage with callback requests
  • Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number if calls persist, verify any business claims through official channels (e.g., check solar company websites directly)
  • Do not: Provide personal information, financial details, or confirm your phone number if you do call back
  • Do: Hang up immediately if prompted to enter sensitive information

If the caller claims to represent a solar company, contact the company directly using contact details from their official website rather than information provided by the caller.

What to Do If You Receive Multiple Missed Calls from 0485 867 394

Repeated calls without voicemails, especially at unusual hours like early morning, may indicate automated calling systems or deliberate harassment. Consider these steps:

  • Block 0485867394 on your phone to prevent further incoming calls

  • Note the dates and times of calls for reporting purposes
  • If calls continue after blocking, document this as evidence of harassment

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I call back 0485 867 394?

A contributor who called back 0485867394 encountered an automated system claiming to be Optichoice. The system requested entry of their phone number to stop calls, which the contributor found highly suspicious. We recommend not calling back unknown numbers, particularly those with multiple missed calls, as you may trigger unwanted callbacks or confirm your number is active.

Is 0485 867 394 a legitimate solar company number?

One report mentions solar sales from 0485 867 394, but the combination with suspicious callback mechanics and multiple missed calls without voicemails raises concerns. If a solar company claims to represent 0485867394, verify independently by contacting the company directly through their official website rather than trusting information from the caller.

Why do I keep getting missed calls from 0485 867 394 with no voicemail?

Multiple contributors reported missed calls from 0485867394 where no voicemail was left. This pattern is common with automated calling systems, robocalls, or deliberate harassment. The lack of voicemail suggests the caller has no legitimate message to leave and may simply be testing whether your number is active.

Should I block 0485 867 394?

Yes. If 0485 867 394 continues calling you, blocking the number is recommended. Contributors have reported repeated calls at various times, including early morning hours. Blocking prevents the number from reaching you and is appropriate when calls persist without legitimate business purpose.

What is Optichoice and why did an automated message claim to be them?

When a contributor called back 0485867394, an automated recording identified itself as Optichoice. This is unusual and raises concerns about whether the system is genuinely associated with any legitimate entity or is a spoofed name designed to appear official. Do not provide personal information to automated systems claiming to represent companies you did not contact.

Can I report 0485 867 394 to Australian authorities?

Yes. You can report 0485867394 to ACMA at acma.gov.au for unwanted calls and spam, or to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if you suspect a scam. If harassment continues, contact your local police service. Contributing your experience to Reverseau also helps other Australians identify patterns from this number.
