Silent Calls and Robocall Activity for 04 8999 4025
Seven contributors have reported calls from 04 8999 4025 (also written as 0489994025) showing a pattern of silent calls, robocalls, and at least one impersonation attempt. The most common issue is callers hanging up or remaining silent when the line connects, with multiple reports of repeated calls within short timeframes. One contributor who answered a call from 0489994025 reported the caller claimed to be updating their electricity deal, despite the contributor's stated knowledge that their provider never initiates calls this way.
The mobile number allocated to pivotel-satellite-pty-limited shows activity concentrated over recent days, with several contributors reporting persistent contact attempts across multiple similar numbers starting with 0489. This suggests either automated dialling patterns or a coordinated campaign using sequential number variations.
What Callers from 04 8999 4025 Do
When contacted, callers from 04 8999 4025 display distinctly unhelpful behaviour. The most frequently reported scenario involves the line going dead or silent immediately after pickup, with one contributor describing repeated calls where they pick up to find only dead air. Another contributor received a call claiming an electricity provider update, using urgency language typical of utility impersonation scams. Several reports note the caller hangs up before speaking, suggesting either intentional screening or robocall technology that disconnects when a human answers.
Contributors also report receiving multiple calls from 0489994025 in rapid succession within minutes of each other, paired with calls from similar numbers (0489 994 145, 0489 994 023) on the same day. One contributor described being bombarded with this batch of calls with no voicemail left on any attempt.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports span from 7 January to 20 January 2026, with the highest concentration occurring in mid-January. One contributor flagged a call after 7:20 PM and marked it as spam before blocking. Multiple reports indicate calls clustered within the same week or even the same day, suggesting systematic dialling rather than random contact. No voicemail messages were left across any of the reported calls from 04 8999 4025, which is typical of silent call or robocall campaigns. Contributors note the pattern of calling twice within minutes, which they compare to other suspicious numbers they have tracked.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8999 4025
If 04 8999 4025 calls you:
- Do not: Engage with claims about utilities, accounts, or urgent updates; return the call; or provide any personal or financial information
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, verify any account claims by contacting your provider directly using a number from their official website or bill
- If you answer to silence: Hang up and block; silent calls are a common robocall tactic and do not warrant engagement
- If rapid repeated calls occur: Report the pattern to ACMA, as this may indicate automated dialling

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do callers from 04 8999 4025 hang up when I answer?
Silent calls or immediate hangups from 0489994025 typically indicate robocall systems that detect a human voice and disconnect, or screening to identify active phone numbers for later scam attempts. This behaviour is intentional and should trigger an immediate block of 04 8999 4025.
Is the electricity update claim from 04 8999 4025 legitimate?
No. One contributor received a call from 0489994025 claiming an electricity deal update, but correctly identified it as suspicious because their provider does not cold-call. Legitimate utilities contact you only in response to your inquiry or at your request. If 04 8999 4025 calls about utilities, hang up and contact your provider directly using the number on your bill.

What should I do if I answered and gave information to 04 8999 4025?
If you disclosed personal or financial information to someone claiming to be from 0489994025, monitor your accounts closely and consider contacting your bank or service provider directly to confirm no fraudulent activity has occurred.
