Silent Call Reports for 08 7322 1399

Five contributors have reported activity from 08 7322 1399 (also written as 0873221399), with patterns suggesting either poor call handling or potential scam activity. The most concerning report describes a silent call where the caller claimed to be from Shannon's but the contributor questioned why insurance follow-up wouldn't arrive by email instead. This disconnect between claimed identity and expected communication method raises red flags for contributors assessing legitimacy.

The number is allocated to Optus Networks in South Australia, but contributors report inconsistent and confusing interactions when they attempt verification by returning calls to 0873221399.

What Callers from 08 7322 1399 Report

Contributors describe two distinct types of calls from this number. One report indicates a silent call where someone claimed to represent Shannon's, with no further communication or context provided. When contributors have returned calls to 08 7322 1399, they encountered recorded messages claiming to be from Shannons, but these calls ended without connecting to a live person.

One contributor noted that after calling back 0873221399, they received an automated response stating 'if they wanted to speak to me they'd call again', which contributors found evasive and unhelpful. Another contributor who spoke directly with someone claiming to be from Shannon Insurance reported suspecting a scam during the interaction, though they did not specify what triggered their concern.

Legitimate vs Suspicious Activity

One contributor confirmed that 08 7322 1399 did contact them as Shannon Insurance following up on a quote request. However, this call came 4-5 days after the request, by which time the contributor had already insured their vehicle elsewhere. This legitimate contact occurred in May 2024, while more suspicious reports (silent calls, automated dead-ends) are more recent, spanning from January 2024 through November 2025.

The inconsistency in how 0873221399 handles return calls raises questions about call centre operations or spoofing. Contributors report that returned calls sometimes connect to recorded messages that disconnect without offering options, and other times feature automated voicemail-style responses that discourage call-backs.

Report Patterns and Timing

Reports span a 20-month period from January 2024 to November 2025, indicating ongoing activity. All five reports came from answered calls, suggesting contributors were either home or picked up during business hours. The silent call report is the most recent (November 2025), followed by a suspicious call from May 2025, while earlier reports from mid-2024 and early 2024 describe technical issues with return calls to 08 7322 1399.

Two reports explicitly mention uncertainty about legitimacy, one confirmed a legitimate insurance follow-up (though poorly timed), one described a silent call, and one highlighted confusing automated responses. This mixed picture makes it difficult for contributors to determine whether 0873221399 represents genuine Shannon Insurance business or spoofed contact attempts.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 7322 1399

Unclear.

Contact Shannon Insurance directly using the number on their official website to verify whether 08 7322 1399 is an active contact line.

Why do I get a silent call from 0873221399?

One contributor reported a silent call from 08 7322 1399 where the caller claimed to be from Shannon's but provided no context. Silent calls can indicate either automated dialling systems (where live agents connect only if you respond) or spoofed numbers. Do not return the call to 0873221399 - instead, contact Shannon Insurance directly using their official number.

What happens when I call back 08 7322 1399?

Contributors who returned calls to 0873221399 reported inconsistent outcomes: some heard recorded messages from Shannons that disconnected without further options, while others received automated voicemail responses saying 'if they wanted to speak to me they'd call again'. These dead-end responses suggest either poor call centre systems or a spoofed number. Verify independently before returning any call to 08 7322 1399.

What provider owns 08 7322 1399?

The number 0873221399 is allocated to Optus Networks in South Australia. However, allocation alone does not confirm legitimacy - the number could be legitimately operated by a business (like Shannon Insurance) or spoofed by scammers using Optus infrastructure. Always verify by contacting organisations directly.

How long does Shannon Insurance typically take to follow up?

One contributor received a legitimate follow-up call from Shannon Insurance on 08 7322 1399 approximately 4-5 days after requesting a quote. However, this timing caused the contributor to already secure insurance elsewhere. If you receive a call from 0873221399 claiming to be Shannon Insurance, verify the number and timeframe independently with Shannon.

Should I provide information if 08 7322 1399 calls claiming to be Shannon Insurance?

No. Do not share personal or financial information with any unverified caller, including 0873221399. If Shannon Insurance needs information, let the call go to voicemail, then contact Shannon directly using the number on your policy or their official website. This protects you against both spoofed numbers and legitimate companies reaching you via suspicious channels.
