Random disconnected number calling me.

Random number called, I answered, they hang up. when tried to return call get that the number is disconnected.
WHo are they???

The reason why it sometimes sound like it's no one there and they hang up, is because they have a system which allows to call several numbers at the same time. One number picks up, and they hang up on the other calls..

I have received several no message left calls from this number. I have not replied to any of them as I did not recognise the number.

My phone was called when I tried to return call the message said phone diconected

had a call from this number a few days ago, saying they were from optus and that they would give me $30 free credit as i hadnt recharged for so long and my account was about to expire, He was indian and said that this would take 3 days to apply to my phone, its been 3days and nothing , he knew all my details, name address and just asked to confirm my date of birth?? Now im freaking out, what are they really up ptoo??

Is it leagal to have that recording on a number that still runs??

btw folks: it's standard practice for telemarketers to probe your number to see if they get a response.

if someone answers they hang up.
these are the 'people' who collect the active line data to sell on or use in house for people to pester you with crap.

i'm going to try forwarding the call back to its own number so they ring themselves. if it won't let me i'll get the sydney number to ring the melbourne number and vice versa .. lol

usually i get a call from this number a couple of hours later(03) 9914 9571

my theory: optus calls because i don't use the account (waiting for timeout jailbreak on the phone)to wonder why i'm not using the account or to tell me what i already know (that the acct expires in july)

i'd say the 03 number is a marketing partner they give your information to so they can sell you stuff. loads of complaints on this site about that number. really dodgy. some power company or someone posing as a power company.

funny how both numbers know i've activated my phone on the network even though i don't make any calls (no credit). in other words an inside job

optus obviously has its nag people on dead accounts and it gets autopassed to telemarketers (what does a telco have to do with power ffs?)

just block it if you can (mine can't you need a premium service just to do what should be standard because they're the ones causing the problem)

its optus' call centre

I missed the call - on a Saturday morning - and tried to call back and it rings first then the disconnected message comes up, but it sounds grainy, like its an old answering machine not the digital crisp disconnected message of today

I sent the numbers to my phones blocked list...They then get a "This number has been disconnected" message...poetic justice I say!

Same as above. Who is using this number? Surely our telephone providors can help?

rang my mobile many times. when i answered she asked for "@%$#%%&^*$#@" and hang up.

unknown missed call

Called, but no one there.

Optus doing a "health check" to see if we are happy with our Optus mobile service. Very brief call and not pushy with extra services.

i had a missed call from this number and when i called back it said the number was disconnected

Calls and no one is there. The number is Wrong number.

No message left; doesn't show as missed call on mobile; disconnected or unavailable when you ring back; Telstra Message 02RO1140
