Silent Call and Suspicious Reports for 04 8599 4704
Two contributors have flagged 04 8599 4704 (also written as 0485994704) for concerning call behaviour. One report describes a silent call that was screened by Apple, with the caller hanging up when questioned. A second contributor received a suspicious voicemail claiming to be from Telstra, with the reporter advising caution.
The number is allocated to a mobile service (Pivotel Satellite Pty Limited), which suggests legitimate infrastructure, though this does not guarantee legitimate use. The pattern of silent calls followed by disconnection when engaged is consistent with automated callback scams or screening tests used by fraudsters to identify active phone numbers.
What Callers from 04 8599 4704 Do
The silent call received by one contributor was screened before reaching them, indicating the call may have been automated or the caller deliberately avoided speaking. When the recipient attempted to engage with the caller, the line was disconnected immediately. This behaviour is typical of callback scam attempts or robocall campaigns testing number validity.
The second report describes a voicemail presenting as Telstra communication. The contributor flagged the message as suspicious rather than confirming it as a confirmed scam, suggesting the content or delivery raised red flags without definitive proof of fraud. Given the prevalence of Telstra impersonation scams targeting Australian mobile users, any unsolicited Telstra communication claiming urgent account issues warrants verification.
Call Patterns and Timing
The silent call to 04 8599 4704 occurred in early February 2026, while the suspicious voicemail was reported mid-February. One call reached the contributor via phone answering (the silent call was screened), and one was left as voicemail. With only two reports, frequency patterns are limited, though the combination of silent calls and voicemail contact suggests multiple contact attempts or different tactics testing the line.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8599 4704
If 04 8599 4704 calls you:
- Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, return the call, or provide any personal information if you do answer
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, check for a message, block the number if calls repeat, and verify any Telstra claims directly with Telstra using their official customer service line (13 22 00) rather than any contact details provided by the caller
- Silent calls: Treat as a potential callback scam or number validation test; do not engage or respond, and consider blocking immediately
What to Do If You Receive a Voicemail from 04 8599 4704
If you receive a voicemail from 04 8599 4704 claiming to be from Telstra:
- Do not: Click any links in accompanying messages, call back any number left in the voicemail, or share account details or passwords
- Do: Delete the message, verify the claim by calling Telstra directly on their official number (13 22 00) to confirm whether the message is legitimate, and report the number to Scamwatch if the content appears fraudulent

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does a silent call from 04 8599 4704 mean?
A silent call where the caller hangs up when you answer, like the report for 04 8599 4704, typically indicates an automated callback scam or number validation test. Fraudsters use these calls to confirm which phone numbers are active and monitored by real people before targeting them with follow-up scams. Do not return the call; instead, block 0485994704 immediately.
Is 04 8599 4704 really from Telstra?
One contributor reported a suspicious voicemail claiming to be from Telstra on 04 8599 4704, but this has not been verified as a legitimate Telstra message. Telstra impersonation scams are common. Always verify by calling Telstra's official customer service on 13 22 00 (using a separate phone or trusted number) rather than calling back any number left in a message from 0485994704.
Why did the caller from 04 8599 4704 hang up when I answered?
According to the report about 04 8599 4704, the caller disconnected when the recipient engaged them. This behaviour is typical of callback scam operations or automated systems testing whether a number is monitored. Real customer service representatives stay on the line to assist; silent callers hanging up on contact are a major red flag.
Should I block 04 8599 4704?
Yes. With two community reports flagging 0485994704 for silent calls and suspicious voicemails, blocking is recommended if the number contacts you. Silent calls combined with Telstra-impersonation voicemails indicate potential scam activity. Blocking prevents further unwanted contact.
What is Pivotel Satellite Pty Limited, the provider of 04 8599 4704?
Pivotel Satellite Pty Limited is the service provider allocated to 04 8599 4704, suggesting it's registered as a mobile service. However, legitimate provider registration does not confirm legitimate use; scammers can use any phone number. Treat calls from 0485994704 based on their actual behaviour (silent calls, spoofed voicemails) rather than provider status.
How many people have reported 04 8599 4704?
Two contributors have reported 0485994704. One described a silent call that disconnected when answered; the other received a suspicious Telstra-related voicemail. While the number of reports is limited, the pattern of silent calls followed by voicemail contact suggests deliberate multi-channel contact attempts.
