Community reports for 08 6289 7791 (0862897791): Aggressive solar panel sales calls from Indian-accented callers who ignore rejection and hang up without leaving voicemail.
Solar Panel Sales Spam from 08 6289 7791
Two contributors have reported unwanted sales calls from 08 6289 7791 (also written as 0862897791) advertising solar panel installations. Both callers exhibited aggressive sales tactics, with the same pattern: the number rings, no message is left, and when recipients call back, an Indian-accented woman attempts to pitch solar services despite repeated refusals.
What distinguishes these calls is the persistence and rudeness documented in reports about 0862897791. When told "no" by recipients, the caller continues pushing rather than gracefully accepting rejection. This behaviour suggests a high-volume sales operation with minimal regard for Do Not Call preferences.
What Callers from 08 6289 7791 Say
Both reports about 08 6289 7791 describe identical caller behaviour and script. The caller does not introduce themselves or leave a voicemail on the initial contact. When recipients or their household members call back, the woman identifies herself as selling solar panels and begins a sales pitch immediately.
Contributors note that when they declined interest in solar installation services, the caller from 0862897791 became rude and dismissive rather than accepting the rejection. There is no recorded attempt at professional courtesy or follow-up scheduling. The interaction ends abruptly once the prospect is clearly uninterested.
Call Patterns and Timing
The two reports of calls from 08 6289 7791 occurred within two weeks of each other (23 February and 5 March 2026), suggesting this number is actively making multiple outbound calls. Both calls came during standard business hours when recipients were available to answer or their household members could take the call.
Neither contributor received a voicemail, which is typical for volume-based telemarketing operations that rely on callback conversion rather than message-based follow-up. The fact that the same number rang twice to different households in a fortnight indicates ongoing campaign activity.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do callers from 08 6289 7791 not leave a voicemail?
High-volume telemarketing operations often skip voicemail to reduce operational costs. By not leaving a message, they rely on recipients calling back out of curiosity, which confirms active numbers for further targeting. Contributors who received calls from 0862897791 were deliberately put in a position of uncertainty to trigger a callback.
Is 08 6289 7791 a legitimate solar company?
Community reports do not identify 0862897791 as a reputable solar installer. The aggressive, rude behaviour and silence strategy documented in calls from 08 6289 7791 are hallmarks of third-party lead generation or volume sales operations rather than established solar companies. Legitimate providers typically identify themselves, leave messages, and respect customer preferences.
What should I do if I have already called back 0862897791?
If you called back 08 6289 7791 and provided information, do not share further details. Block the number immediately. If you provided your address or energy details to the caller from 0862897791, monitor your incoming mail and calls for other unsolicited contact. Consider registering with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
Can I get a refund if I signed a solar contract with 08 6289 7791?
If you signed a contract following a call from 0862897791, check the paperwork for a cooling-off period (typically 10 business days). Contact the company in writing to cancel. If the caller from 08 6289 7791 misrepresented rebates, government schemes, or savings, lodge a complaint with the ACMA at acma.gov.au and contact your state fair trading office.
Why does the same caller from 0862897791 keep trying different numbers in my household?
Contributors reported that when they did not answer, their spouse received a separate call from 08 6289 7791, suggesting the operation has multiple lines or contacts linked to a single address. This indicates your address was added to a broad contact list, and the operation is systematically working through household members to reach a decision-maker.
Is registering with the Do Not Call Register enough to stop calls from 08 6289 7791?
Registration with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au should prevent legitimate companies from calling 0862897791. However, some unscrupulous operations ignore registration. If calls from 08 6289 7791 continue after registration, document the dates and times, then lodge a formal complaint with the ACMA at acma.gov.au.
