Silent Robocall from 08 7094 5106
A contributor reported receiving a robocall to 08 7094 5106 (also written as 0870945106) that played dead air when answered. The call came through as a local South Australian number allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, a legitimate service provider - a common tactic where scammers spoof real business numbers to appear credible.
Dead air robocalls typically indicate an automated dialling system waiting for a live operator to connect, or testing whether the number is active. The silence itself suggests this was not a deliberate scam interaction but rather part of a broader campaign to identify working phone numbers for future contact attempts.
What Happened When the Call Connected
When the recipient answered 08 7094 5106, they were met with silence rather than a greeting or sales pitch. This is characteristic of automated calling systems that dial large lists of numbers and only connect callers to an operator when someone answers. The contributor experienced no follow-up or attempted engagement - the call simply disconnected after the silent period.

If 08 7094 5106 calls you:

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does dead air on a call from 08 7094 5106 mean?
Dead air (silence when you answer) typically means an automated robocall system is testing whether your number is active, or waiting to connect you to an operator. The contributor who reported 0870945106 experienced silence immediately upon answering. Do not speak or engage - this flags your number as monitored by the caller.
Why did 08 7094 5106 show a local South Australian number?
The number 0870945106 is allocated to a legitimate South Australian provider (Symbio Networks Pty Ltd), but scammers routinely spoof real numbers to appear credible. Just because 08 7094 5106 appears to be from a local business does not mean it is - always verify by calling the business directly using a number you find yourself.
Should I call back a silent robocall from 0870945106?
No. Do not return calls to 08 7094 5106 or any unknown number that calls with silence. Returning the call confirms to automated systems that your number is active and monitored, which typically increases the frequency of future unwanted contact.
What should I do if 08 7094 5106 keeps calling?
Block the number immediately in your phone's settings. Most modern phones allow you to block specific numbers from the call history. If 0870945106 continues after blocking, document each attempt (date, time) and report to ACMA at acma.gov.au, as repeated calls may violate telemarketing regulations.
Is answering a silent call from 08 7094 5106 dangerous?
Simply answering 0870945106 is not dangerous, but speaking or responding confirms your number is active and increases future contact. If you answer and hear only silence from 08 7094 5106, hang up without speaking and block the number.
How do I report 08 7094 5106 to authorities?
Report calls from 0870945106 to ACMA (acma.gov.au) - they investigate illegal robocalls and silent calls in Australia. You can also file a report with Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and contribute your experience on Reverseau to help other Australians recognise this number.
