Silent Calls and Solar Telemarketing from 08 6285 2070
Four contributors have reported calls from 08 6285 2070 (also written as 0862852070), describing a mixed pattern of silent calls and solar panel sales pitches. Two separate reports identify this number as being used by "Green Solar" for telemarketing batteries and solar panels, specifically targeting Western Australian metro residents. The remaining reports document silent or near-silent calls that hang up within seconds, suggesting possible auto-dialler testing or call list verification.
The service is registered to NetSIP Pty Ltd as a local Western Australian number. The combination of silent calls and telemarketing activity suggests either multiple operators using the same line or sequential campaigns from the same organisation.
What Callers from 08 6285 2070 Say and Do
When 0862852070 connects, callers from the solar sales side promote battery and solar panel products with a focus on Western Australian homeowners. One contributor noted the approach "feels a bit dodgy without knowing more", indicating pressure or urgency in the pitch.
The silent call reports are more concerning. Two contributors experienced calls where the line connected but no one spoke. One report describes the caller hanging up after 5-10 seconds of silence. Another contributor received a silent call that offered no message or follow-up contact details. This pattern is consistent with auto-dialler systems testing whether a number is answered and active, often used to compile fresh contact lists for resale or further campaigns.
Report Patterns and Timing
The reports span from mid-October 2025 to early January 2026, suggesting ongoing activity. All reports came through answered calls, meaning 08 6285 2070 successfully connected with contributors. The silent calls were reported in October and January, while the solar sales reports clustered in October. This spread indicates the number has been active for at least three months with no clear pattern of escalation or decline.

What is 08 6285 2070 calling about?
Contributors report that 08 6285 2070 is used for telemarketing solar panels and batteries by a company called "Green Solar", targeting WA residents. However, two reports also describe silent calls with no one speaking, which may indicate auto-dialler testing. The mix of activity suggests either multiple uses of 0862852070 or different campaigns from the same operator.
Why does 0862852070 hang up without speaking?
Silent calls that drop after a few seconds are typical of auto-dialler systems used to verify active phone numbers. These are often sold to other telemarketing companies or used to refine calling lists. If 08 6285 2070 continues silent calling, it's worth reporting to ACMA and blocking the number.
Should I answer calls from 08 6285 2070?
No. If you don't recognise the number, let it go to voicemail. If 0862852070 leaves a message identifying the business clearly, you can decide whether to engage. For unsolicited telemarketing, it's safer to block 08 6285 2070 after the first call and register with the Do Not Call Register.
