Nuisance Call Reports for 08 7083 5754
A contributor has reported receiving a call from 08 7083 5754 (also written as 0870835754), a South Australian local service number provided by Symbio Networks. The report describes the caller hanging up immediately when the answering machine was activated, a common pattern in nuisance calling behaviour where callers disconnect rather than leave a message.
Call Behaviour and Characteristics
The contributor who received the call from 0870835754 noted that the caller did not attempt to leave a voicemail message. This type of behaviour - where a caller disconnects upon reaching an answering machine - often indicates either an auto-dialled list being worked through or a caller screening for live voice answers rather than recording equipment.
The call to 08 7083 5754 was answered, meaning the contributor heard the line briefly before the caller hung up. This differs from calls that go straight to voicemail, suggesting the call was connected but the caller chose to disconnect when faced with recording equipment.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean when a caller hangs up on an answering machine?
When a caller from 08 7083 5754 hangs up upon reaching an answering machine, it typically means they were screening for a live person rather than attempting genuine contact. This behaviour is common with automated calling systems or callers working through lists looking for answered calls. The contributor who received the call from 0870835754 experienced this exact pattern - immediate disconnection when the answering machine activated.
Is 08 7083 5754 a legitimate business number?
08 7083 5754 is a local service number in South Australia provided by Symbio Networks. While the allocation itself is legitimate, the nuisance call pattern reported suggests the number may be being used for unwanted contact. A single report from a contributor does not definitively establish the caller's purpose, but the behaviour of hanging up on an answering machine is consistent with automated or screening-based calling rather than legitimate customer service contact.
Should I call back 08 7083 5754 if it called me?
No, you should not call back 0870835754. When a caller hangs up upon reaching an answering machine, they are not expecting or seeking a return call. Calling back an unknown number that deliberately disconnected could connect you to an unwanted service, cost you money, or expose you to further contact. If the call was important, the caller would have left a voicemail message or sent another form of contact.
How can I block 08 7083 5754 on my phone?
Most modern smartphones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, open the call log, find 08 7083 5754, tap the 'i' icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open Phone, tap the recent call from 0870835754, and select 'Block number'. You can also check your phone provider's call blocking service - Symbio Networks and other Australian carriers offer free or paid call filtering options to reduce nuisance calls.
What should I do if I receive multiple calls from this number?
If 08 7083 5754 or 0870835754 calls you repeatedly, block the number immediately and report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au). Persistent calls from the same number may indicate your phone number has been added to a calling list. If the calls are attempting to sell you something, you can also register with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) to reduce future marketing calls. Document when calls occur to support any formal complaint.
Could 08 7083 5754 be spoofed or fake?
While spoofing is possible, a single report of a call from 08 7083 5754 does not confirm whether the caller was using a real number or a spoofed display. The behaviour reported - hanging up on an answering machine - is consistent with either scenario. If you're concerned about the call's legitimacy, do not call back. If you recognise the actual caller's identity, you can report them to ACMA; if the call appears to be spoofing a legitimate business, report it to both the real business and ACMA.
