Silent Call Reports for 08 7083 5725
One contributor has reported receiving a silent call from 08 7083 5725 (also written as 0870835725). The caller provided no greeting, message, or explanation when the call was answered. Notably, the same number also rang the contributor's wife's phone simultaneously, also with no voicemail or follow-up message left.
This pattern of coordinated silent calls to multiple household numbers is characteristic of robocall testing or callback scams, where callers attempt to identify active phone numbers for later targeted contact.
Call Characteristics
The call from 08 7083 5725 was answered by the contributor, but silence greeted them on the line. No automated message, no human voice, and no explanation was provided. The simultaneous call to another household member suggests this was not a misdial but an intentional pattern of contact.
Silent calls of this nature often precede more aggressive contact attempts days or weeks later, once the caller has confirmed the number is active and monitored by a real person.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a caller ring me and say nothing when I pick up?
Silent calls often serve two purposes: confirming your number is active and monitored by a real person, or testing a batch of phone numbers before launching a scam campaign. The contributor's experience with 08 7083 5725 calling both household numbers simultaneously suggests deliberate, coordinated contact rather than a misdial.
Is it dangerous to answer calls from 0870835725?
Answering an unknown number like 0870835725 is generally low risk, though remaining on a silent line can confirm your number's status to callers. The risk escalates if you press buttons, stay on the line, or return the call. Simply hanging up is the safest response.
What should I do if 08 7083 5725 keeps calling?
Block the number immediately in your phone's settings. If calls from 08 7083 5725 continue after blocking, document each attempt with the date and time, then report to ACMA (acma.gov.au) or your phone provider. Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, the service provider for 0870835725, may also investigate persistent abuse.
Could this be a callback scam?
Silent calls are often the first stage of callback scams. Scammers confirm your number is active, then contact you days later posing as a legitimate organisation. If you receive follow-up calls from 08 7083 5725 or similar numbers after the silent call, treat them with extreme caution and verify the caller's identity through official channels.
How do I block silent calls on my phone?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly from the call history. After receiving a call from 08 7083 5725, open the call log, select the number 0870835725, and choose "Block" or "Block Contact." For additional protection, enable "Filter Unknown Callers" (iPhone) or "Filter Spam" (Android) in your phone settings to automatically silence calls from numbers not in your contacts.
Should I report this to my phone provider?
Yes. Contact your phone provider and report the silent calls from 08 7083 5725. Mention that the calls were coordinated (multiple household numbers) and provide dates and times. Your provider may identify abuse patterns and escalate the issue to the service provider, Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in South Australia, or to ACMA for regulatory action.
