Suspicious Call Reports for 08 7905 4742
Two contributors have reported calls from 08 7905 4742 (also written as 0879054742), a Northern Territory-based local service number. Both reports involve missed calls with no voicemail left, which is a common pattern when callers are attempting to reach numbers without clear intent or are testing for active lines.
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in the NT. One contributor noted they have no business or personal connections to Northern Territory, raising suspicion about why the number attempted contact. The second report involved a call to a business line with similarly no message left, suggesting the caller may be conducting broad outreach rather than targeting a specific account holder.
Call Patterns
Both calls to 08 7905 4742 resulted in missed calls, with neither caller leaving a voicemail message. The first report was logged in January 2026, while the earlier report dates to September 2023, suggesting sporadic contact attempts rather than repeated harassment from the same source. The lack of voicemail on either occasion is notable - legitimate businesses typically leave a message when reaching an answering machine.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 7905 4742
If 0879054742 calls you and you don't recognise the number:
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail - legitimate callers will leave a message with details about why they're calling
- Do: Block the number if it calls repeatedly without leaving a message
- Do: Check your bank and service provider accounts directly (using official contact numbers) if you're concerned about account-related calls
- Don't: Return the call to an unfamiliar number - callback scams can result in expensive charges to premium lines
- Don't: Share personal or financial information with unknown callers

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call and not leave a message?
Callers who don't leave voicemails on 08 7905 4742 or 0879054742 may be conducting automated scanning of phone numbers, attempting callback scams (hoping you'll return the call), or testing if a line is active. Legitimate businesses almost always leave a detailed message. The pattern reported for this number - no message on either call - suggests the caller's intent may not be straightforward.
Should I be worried about calls from 08 7905 4742?
The two reports of 08 7905 4742 don't reveal an immediate scam pattern, but the lack of voicemail is suspicious. One contributor flagged it as suspicious despite having no NT connections. If 0879054742 calls you repeatedly without leaving messages, blocking the number is the safest approach. Do not return missed calls to unfamiliar numbers, as this can trigger callback scam charges.
Is 08 7905 4742 a legitimate business number?
08 7905 4742 is registered as a local-service number in the Northern Territory with Symbio Networks. However, allocation data alone doesn't guarantee legitimacy. The fact that contributors received missed calls with no voicemail message is atypical of standard business calling practice. If you have no connection to the NT and receive a call from 0879054742, treat it cautiously.
What's the difference between suspicious and uncertain reports?
One contributor reported 08 7905 4742 as suspicious because they had no business in the NT and believed it to be a scammer. The second report was marked uncertain - simply a missed call with no message to a business line. The pattern from 0879054742 (missed calls, no messages) is consistent with either scenario, but doesn't yet confirm a specific scam type.
Can I block 08 7905 4742?
Yes. Most Australian mobile and home phones allow you to block individual numbers. After blocking 08 7905 4742, calls from 0879054742 will go straight to your voicemail or be rejected. If the number continues to contact you from different variations, you may also register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
Should I report this number to authorities?
If 08 7905 4742 or 0879054742 calls you persistently without a legitimate reason, you can report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au) or Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au). The current reports don't show a clear scam type yet, but community reports help identify patterns. Reporting here on Reverseau also alerts other Australians to calls from this number.
