Silent Calls and Nuisance Patterns for 08 6289 1015
Seven contributors have reported activity from 08 6289 1015 (also written as 0862891015), with the dominant pattern being silent or hang-up calls. The number is allocated to Netslip Pty Ltd, a Western Australian local service provider. Multiple reports indicate that calls from 0862891015 connect briefly then disconnect without leaving voicemail, a behaviour often associated with callback verification scams or automated dialling systems testing active numbers.
Contributors describe the calling pattern as repeated and deliberate rather than accidental. One person noted the calls would ring then immediately hang up, describing it as "playing hide and seek." Another reported that the number kept ringing but hung up as soon as they ignored it, suggesting the caller may be tracking whether the line is being actively monitored.
What Callers from 08 6289 1015 Do
The most common behaviour reported is silent connection followed by instant disconnection. Three separate reports describe calls from 08 6289 1015 that ring through but hang up without any attempt at conversation or voicemail. One contributor received a call that didn't even trigger their phone's normal ringing pattern, suggesting potential spoofing or technical manipulation of caller ID.
A secondary pattern involves a caller identifying as "Mark" from 0862891015 who contacted a contributor about solar rebates. This single report stands out as the only instance where someone actually spoke, though the solar rebate topic is a recognised spam opener used to build contact lists.
One contributor flagged concerns about the provider itself, noting that Netslip Pty Ltd has a history of "dodgy past" and has "let scam calls through before," suggesting the number may be compromised or used by bad actors exploiting the provider's infrastructure.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports for 08 6289 1015 span from late January through mid-February 2026. The calls occur across various times of day, including early morning (01:24 AM) and business hours (11:52 AM), indicating this is not a 9-to-5 operation. Contributors experienced both single incidents and repeated calling patterns.
One contributor received multiple calls from this number over several days, each time following the same hang-up pattern. Another had a call that registered as missed without the normal phone notification, suggesting potential technical manipulation of the calling method.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6289 1015
Silent calls and hang-ups are often used to identify active phone numbers for later targeting by scammers or to verify whether a number is monitored. If 08 6289 1015 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, answer if the caller ID looks suspicious, or provide any information if someone does connect
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately after the first call, and mark it as spam in your phone's settings
- Consider: If calls persist, register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to formally lodge a complaint
If the number appears on your phone's call history but you don't remember it ringing, your phone may have been targeted by a spoofed caller ID or robocall system. Blocking 0862891015 will prevent further calls from this specific number.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 08 6289 1015 call and hang up immediately?
Silent calls that hang up instantly are often used to verify that a phone number is active and monitored. Scammers and spammers use this technique to build lists of working numbers before targeting them with actual scam calls. One contributor reported that 0862891015 would ring then hang up as soon as they ignored it, suggesting automated verification rather than a genuine misdialled call. This pattern matches callback-verification scams.
Is 0862891015 definitely a scam?
Not definitively, but the pattern is suspicious. Seven reports for 08 6289 1015 show mostly silent/hang-up behaviour with no legitimate reason offered. One mention of "solar rebate" from a caller named Mark follows a known spam template. The fact that Netslip Pty Ltd (the provider) was flagged by a contributor as having a history of allowing scam calls through adds weight to caution. Treat calls from this number as unwanted until proven otherwise.
What should I do if 08 6289 1015 keeps calling me?
Block the number immediately in your phone's settings. If calls from 0862891015 persist after blocking, register a formal complaint with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. You can also report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au, especially if the calls are frequent or at unusual times. Multiple contributors have reported the same hang-up pattern from this number, so your report strengthens the evidence against it.
Can I trace who is behind 0862891015?
The number is registered to Netslip Pty Ltd, a Western Australian service provider. However, this doesn't mean Netslip is the actual caller - the number may be spoofed or compromised. A contributor noted that Netslip has a "dodgy past" and has allowed scam calls through before, suggesting the provider's network security may be weak. ACMA (acma.gov.au) is the authority that can investigate the provider's responsibility for calls from 08 6289 1015.
Why didn't my phone ring normally when 08 6289 1015 called?
One contributor reported that 0862891015 rang them but their phone didn't ring in the normal way, and no voicemail was left. This can happen with spoofed calls or when the caller uses specific technical methods to manipulate caller ID. It suggests the call from this number may not be legitimate. Block 08 6289 1015 and monitor for similar unusual calling patterns from other numbers.
Should I answer if 08 6289 1015 calls again?
No. Based on seven reports, the most likely outcome if you answer 0862891015 is either silence/hang-up or a spam pitch like the solar rebate call. Answering confirms your number is active and monitored, which is exactly what the caller wants. Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and do not call back. If someone does manage to speak when 08 6289 1015 calls, hang up and do not provide any personal information.
