What does it mean if a caller from 08 5117 0513 doesn't say anything?
Silent calls from 08 5117 0513 or 0851170513 where no one speaks are often generated by automated systems testing whether a number is active and monitored. One contributor who answered a call from this number experienced exactly this - a silent connection with no voicemail left. This tactic is commonly used to verify contact information for later contact attempts.
Why should I not return a call to 08 5117 0513?
Returning calls to unknown numbers like 0851170513 can confirm to the caller that your number is actively monitored and someone answered. This may increase the likelihood of follow-up contact from this number or related numbers. If 08 5117 0513 calls again, let it go to voicemail instead.
Should I be concerned about calls from 08 5117 0513 originating from Marble Bar, WA?
While only one contributor has reported this number (0851170513) so far, the combination of a silent call and no voicemail is worth taking seriously. The Marble Bar area location and the use of Symbio Networks as the provider don't inherently confirm malicious intent, but silent calling patterns should be monitored and reported if they continue.
What should I do if 08 5117 0513 calls me multiple times?
If you receive repeated calls from 08 5117 0513 (0851170513) with no voicemail or voice response, block the number immediately in your phone's settings. Document each call with the date and time, then report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au as persistent silent or nuisance calling.
