WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a silent call or hang-up call?
A silent call is when someone calls your number but hangs up or remains silent without speaking. The contributor who reported 08 6255 9864 experienced exactly this-they answered, heard nothing, and the caller disconnected. Silent calls can be manual testing of active numbers or automated robocall systems checking line validity before launching larger scam campaigns.
Why would someone call 08 6255 9864 and say nothing?
Silent calls from numbers like 0862559864 typically serve one of several purposes. The caller may be testing whether the number is active and monitored by a real person. Once confirmed, your number could be added to targeted scam lists. Alternatively, the call could be from an automated dialler system that disconnects when it detects a human voice instead of an answering machine.
Is it safe to call back 08 6255 9864?
No, calling back 08 6255 9864 is not recommended. Some silent hang-up calls are part of callback scams where the number you return the call to is a premium service line, charging you significant fees per minute. Even if 0862559864 itself is not premium-rated, confirming your number is active and monitored invites further contact attempts.
Should I block 08 6255 9864 after one call?
A single silent call from 08 6255 9864 could be accidental or a wrong number, but it's reasonable to block it if it concerns you. However, if calls from 0862559864 or similar numbers repeat, blocking becomes more important. Keep a record of any additional calls from this number to identify patterns when reporting to ACMA or your provider.
Who is NetSIP Pty Ltd and why are they calling?
NetSIP Pty Ltd is the provider allocated to 08 6255 9864, a local service number in Western Australia. The provider itself is not necessarily making unwanted calls-the number may be used by third parties or campaigns. The fact that you received a silent hang-up does not prove NetSIP's involvement in the call; it only indicates the number's allocation.
What should I do if 08 6255 9864 keeps calling?
If repeated silent calls from 0862559864 continue, block the number in your phone settings immediately. Report the persistent calls to ACMA at acma.gov.au and your phone provider. Document each call date and time. If charges appear on your bill from returned calls to 08 6255 9864, contact your provider to dispute them and request the source be blocked at network level.
