What rubbish. It's a talking text, simple as that.

"What is this number?" Learn to speak English.

Whatever this damn 0198339100 number is, if it does not stop ringing, I am gonna report this to the AFP as it is getting out of hand.

I think it is from Coles insurance.

I had 11 messages from this number on my landline which did not make sense.9 recorded at the same time I don't send text messages nor do I wish to receive them on my landline phone.

Left a message saying my order from Dan Murphys was ready to pick up. Call was legitimate in this case. Appears to be a Telstra SMS to voice message system so call could be instigated from many sources.

Spent two hours last night on phone to telstra trying to get this service???disabled
After speaking to 4 different people, I was told the sms to talk was now deactivated.
I was doubtful, and this morning received two more sms to talk messages.
The computer voice they use, I can't understand it.
Obviously the plan for telstra is to get everybody off the landlines by driving everybody mad with brainless technology that telstra can't control.

Shutting down landlines is what they are after

(01)98339100 is a Telstra talking text from mobile to landline. It's legitimate. My msg. Was "we are on our way home" in a computerised voice. So I hung up, not listening to end of msg. As I had been waiting for my daughter, husband to arrive home I rang my daughter. She said she had sent the message. She mistakenly sent msg. to my home phone instead of my mobile. However, she knew of Telstra talking txt. I agree with Jack & Alan.

Message left on my landline. Some dodgy robotic voice said I had received a message and it gave me a variety of prompts to reply message, save message, delete message, etc. I simply deleted the message, but not by using their suggested method...

Is there any cost to the receiver of these calls? If answered, or if not?

I have been getting this number 0198339100 trying to call me every 8 minutes today (Tues 9th May - 2017). The first time I answered it there was no one there. After reading your comments, the next time it rang I answered by just saying, "Hello". I then heard a female voice saying, "Hey Babe" and was then given the number 0467 611 989 to call. I looked that number up on this site and there's no information. It sounds like someone looking for sex to me. (Sorry Madam, not interested!) Maybe it's a brothel seeking clients.

you can block the number.

six calls in a row in an hour from 0198 339 100, so much for being on the DO NOT CALL LIST but these drongos still get the number. these are as bad as the CAR ACCIDENT one and the COMPUTER one. just had another call this time it did NOT show the number. and if this is not DODGY and b----y annoying what is

If you wait about 10 seconds, a recorded voice comes on the line. its a digital mobile to landline SMS recording.
It gives you a voice recording of the message and tells you the mobile number that sent it. Handy now that I know.

This number rings almost every night and i am sick of it. Even if i speak i get nothing
I do not want sms messages on my landline.

it is Telstra messaging service .
phone 132200 and ask to cancel the message bank service for your landline
