The Telstra-allocated local service number in Western Australia has generated escalating frustration among contributors.

Another contributor described the same pattern repeating multiple times daily over the past week alone.

What Callers from 08 9266 8678 Do

Reports about 08 9266 8678 consistently describe the same behaviour: when answered, there is either complete silence or an immediate hang-up. No voice message, no background noise, and no attempt at communication. One contributor answered a call from 0892668678 and received no response before the line went dead. This silent-call pattern repeated three times in a single day for another contributor.

One report mentions the call arriving shortly after the recipient watched an investment video on Facebook, though no sales pitch or solicitation was heard during the actual call from 08 9266 8678. The silent nature of the calls makes it unclear whether this is a targeted campaign or indiscriminate number-testing activity.

Call Patterns and Timing

Contributors report calls from 08 9266 8678 occurring repeatedly throughout the day, with one contributor noting approximately three calls daily over the past week. The calls come at various times, suggesting automated dialling rather than scheduled contact attempts. Most reports describe answering the call only to find silence, then receiving subsequent calls from 0892668678 within hours or the same day.

The repeated nature is the primary frustration point. One contributor stated, "I now see on caller ID and don't pick up but it is a pain as I get up from TV walk to phone area." Another simply reported the pattern as "repeatedly ringing but won't leave a message" over an extended period. The silence on the line when answered adds to the uncertainty about the call's purpose.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 9266 8678

If 08 9266 8678 calls you:

• Do: Let it go to voicemail immediately, block the number in your phone settings, and note the time and date of calls
• If it persists: Mark as spam/silent call in your phone's call blocking features, which many carriers support at no cost
