Australia: what to expect from calls
Unsure about an Australian number? Find fresh community reports to judge unknown calls or texts. Cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide show both legitimate callbacks (delivery, banking, appointments) and waves of phishing. Area codes (02, 03, 07, 08) are not reliable for location due to portability/VoIP — treat them as signal, not proof.
Good practice: return calls only via the official number on the provider’s site/app, check in‑app messages, and don’t share one‑time codes by phone. Enable device blocks and carrier filters (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) and leave a short, factual experience here to help others.
I picked up, and the caller immediately terminated the call.
Annoying.
The call was terminated the instant I answered; a return call shows the number as disconnected.
Just another sales pitch.
They disconnected right after I answered, and the number was dead when I tried again.
After I answered, the line dropped; I blocked the number afterward.
They ring, then drop the call; returning the call shows the number as disconnected.
The line rings, drops no voicemail, and returns as disconnected when called back—pure nuisance.
The caller identified as Future Incentives Australia, sourced from a national homeowners database.
While I was enjoying a beer, a telemarketer called and interrupted me. I got so angry I smashed my phone with the bottle, spilling the beer and breaking both. I’d like a replacement phone and a new beer.
They call, then hang up as soon as you say hello, bro.
That was incredibly annoying.
They keep dialing, then cut off without a message, bro.
They tried pushing a new website on me, bro.
Did not answer
They called and then immediately hung up.
Simply hang up, dude.
Just hung up, no voicemail left, bro.
An annoying call.

FAQ — Australia
How do I verify callers in Australia?
Call back via the official company number (website/app), not the unknown number. Check in‑app notices.
What patterns are common?
Delivery/appointment confirmations, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; periodic robocalls, smishing around parcels, and fake support hotlines.
Are area codes reliable?
Not really. Portability and VoIP make 02/03/07/08 weak as location hints. Context and content matter more.
What makes a helpful report?
Be concise: caller type, purpose, date and cues. Avoid sensitive data.
