Three contributors have reported activity from 04 8593 0605 (also written as 0485930605), flagging a mix of unwanted marketing calls and concerning silent callback behaviour. One contributor received a call from 04 8593 0605 with someone named Kate asking about health insurance - a classic unsolicited sales approach. A separate report describes receiving multiple calls not just from this specific number, but from a cluster of numbers starting with 0485, all exhibiting the same pattern of silence when called back.
The allocation data shows 0485930605 is provisioned as a mobile number through Pivotel Satellite. The combination of unwanted marketing contact and silent callbacks suggests this number may be part of a broader calling campaign.
What Callers from 04 8593 0605 Say
The health insurance call from 04 8593 0605 involved someone named Kate directly soliciting information about the recipient's current coverage. Contributors describe the tone as persistent and annoying. When one contributor attempted to call back numbers from the 0485 range, including calls to this number, they received no response - the calls simply disconnected without anyone speaking. This silent callback pattern is consistent with robocall or autodial systems where the infrastructure disconnects if the intended recipient calls back rather than engaging with the outbound message.
Report Patterns and Timing
Reports span late December 2025 through early January 2026. One contributor who received multiple calls from 0485-prefixed numbers, including 04 8593 0605, took action by blocking all of them after attempting callbacks revealed the silent behaviour. A second report from 04 8593 0605 about the health insurance call came in early January. The third report was logged as uncertain but recommended blocking and reporting to Scamwatch, suggesting the contributor wasn't entirely sure of the intent but felt the contact warranted caution.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8593 0605
If 0485930605 or similar numbers from the 0485 range contact you:
- Do not: Provide health insurance details, confirm your current provider, or stay on the line if the caller is vague about their company
- Do: Hang up immediately, block the number on your phone, and if you're unsure about legitimacy, contact your health insurance provider directly using the number on your policy
- Do not: Call the number back if it appears as a missed call - silent callbacks suggest an automated system that won't help you
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail; legitimate health insurance companies will leave a message with contact details

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Who is calling from 04 8593 0605?
Community reports indicate calls from 04 8593 0605 involve someone named Kate calling about health insurance. This appears to be unsolicited marketing rather than a legitimate provider contact. The number is provisioned as a mobile through Pivotel Satellite. If you're unsure whether a caller is legitimate, hang up and call your health insurance provider directly using the number on your policy.
Why do calls from 0485930605 go silent when I call back?
One contributor reported that when they called back 0485930605 and similar 0485-prefixed numbers after missed calls, the line simply disconnected with no one speaking. This silent callback behaviour is typical of robocall or autodial systems that only engage with outbound calls and disconnect if the recipient initiates contact. It's a sign the calls are coming from an automated campaign rather than a person trying to reach you.
Is 04 8593 0605 a scam or just spam?
Reports about 0485930605 are mixed - one describes it as annoying spammy marketing, another was flagged as uncertain and recommended reporting to Scamwatch, and a third noted the silent callback pattern alongside repeated calls from similar 0485 numbers. Whether it's a scam or aggressive telemarketing, the behaviour (unwanted sales contact, silent callbacks) warrants blocking the number and not engaging.
Should I engage with the caller if they ask about my health insurance on 04 8593 0605?
No. Do not provide any details about your current health insurance provider, coverage level, or personal information to unsolicited callers claiming to be from 04 8593 0605 or similar numbers. Legitimate health insurance companies contact you based on your existing policy, not via unsolicited calls from unknown numbers. Hang up and contact your provider directly using the number on your policy.
Are other numbers starting with 0485 also calling from the same campaign as 0485930605?
One contributor reported receiving multiple calls from different numbers all starting with 0485, including 04 8593 0605, with the same unwanted pattern and silent callback behaviour. This suggests 0485930605 may be part of a broader calling operation using multiple numbers in the same range. Blocking the entire 0485 range may be appropriate if you receive repeated unwanted calls from multiple numbers within it.
How do I report calls from 04 8593 0605 to authorities?
Report 0485930605 to the ACMA (acma.gov.au) if it's persistent unwanted calling, or to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if you believe it's a scam. You can also register with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) to opt out of marketing calls, though this may take time to take effect.
