Unwanted Calls from 08 6220 6653
Two contributors have reported receiving repeated calls from 08 6220 6653 (also written as 0862206653), a Western Australian local service number allocated to AAPT Limited. Both contributors describe the pattern as persistent calling without voicemails or messages being left.
One contributor noted they recently obtained a new phone and secondary number from their telco, and 0862206653 began calling repeatedly. The other contributor reported a similar experience after getting a new phone and secondary number, eventually deciding to block the number after reading other reports.
Call Patterns and Characteristics
Both reports centre on the same core issue: 08 6220 6653 calling multiple times without leaving any voicemail or explanation. Neither contributor received any message content, making it difficult to determine the caller's purpose. The persistent nature of the calls without communication prompted both to take action and block the number.
The calls came through on newly activated secondary numbers from the same telco provider. This timing pattern suggests the calls may be automated system activity, possibly related to account activation or network setup processes, though the lack of messages makes the intent unclear.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6220 6653
If 08 6220 6653 calls you:
- Do: Let it go to voicemail and check for messages
- Do: Contact your telco directly if you're unsure about the call purpose - use the phone number on your account statement or bill, not any number from a missed call
- Do: Block the number if calls persist without explanation
- Do: Check your online account portal with your telco to see if there are any pending notifications or account issues
- Do not: Return the call without first verifying the caller's identity through official channels
Is This Your Telco Calling
Since 08 6220 6653 is allocated to AAPT Limited (a telco provider), the calls may be legitimate network or account-related activity. However, legitimate telco calls typically leave voicemails explaining the purpose. If you're unsure whether this number is genuinely from your service provider, contact your telco's customer service using the official number on your account or invoice - do not rely on callback to an unknown number.

Why does 08 6220 6653 keep calling without leaving messages?
Two contributors reported the same pattern with 0862206653 - repeated calls with no voicemail left. Since the number is allocated to AAPT Limited, it may be automated system activity (such as account verification or network alerts), but legitimate calls usually include a message explaining the purpose. Contact your telco directly using the number on your bill to clarify whether 08 6220 6653 is genuinely from them.
Should I answer or return a call from 08 6220 6653?
Contributors who received calls from 0862206653 chose to block the number due to persistent calling without explanation. If you're uncertain whether 08 6220 6653 is legitimate, do not return the call directly. Instead, contact your telco using the official number on your account statement to verify whether they need to reach you.
Is 08 6220 6653 a legitimate telco number?
The number 0862206653 is allocated to AAPT Limited, a telecommunications provider serving Western Australia. However, allocation to a telco does not automatically mean every call from 08 6220 6653 is legitimate - telco numbers can potentially be used by scammers. Legitimate telco calls typically include voicemails or messages. When in doubt, verify by calling your telco's customer service directly.
Why did both contributors report this after getting a new phone or secondary number?
Both contributors noted they had recently activated new phone numbers or secondary numbers when 08 6220 6653 started calling. This timing pattern suggests the calls may be triggered by account activation in your telco's systems, though without voicemail messages it's difficult to confirm. Contact your telco to ask whether they initiated calls to verify your new account setup.
Can I block 08 6220 6653 on my phone?
Yes. Both contributors who received calls from 0862206653 chose to block the number after repeated calls without explanation. You can block 08 6220 6653 in your phone's settings or through your telco provider's app. If the calls are harassing or unwanted, you can also report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
What should I do before reporting 08 6220 6653 to authorities?
Before reporting 0862206653 to ACMA or other authorities, contact your telco using the official number on your account to rule out legitimate system calls. Ask whether they have any notifications pending on your account or whether 08 6220 6653 is used for account alerts. Once you've confirmed the calls are unwanted, report to ACMA at acma.gov.au with details of when the calls occurred.
