Number is Optus Telemarketing, but can only be accessed from another Optus number- when you call from an iinet phone, a recording says number isn't connected!

Using an Optus plan, got a call from this number. I didn't answer it, because I didn't recognize it. Then I googled it, and came up with this page. So I blocked it.

STILL they are trying to call me and still they are blocked. How sad can some people really be? It’s not even a real Optus number I’m assuming it’s some telemarketers from India, and Optus has leaked our info to them or somehow they’ve got a hold of our information from third party apps or something god freaking knows! But they are still blocked and unsuccessful, because I will not answer there calls. They need to get the hint that no one is going to answer them so they are wasting their time. Someone needs to do something about this. We all need to group together and start up a petition for harassment and get these people in jail where they belong. This isn’t right. For a number to keep being called even when blocked. I keep getting the missed call text even though they are blocked!

Very Annoying, called me during class multiple times. Do not worry, it is a common problem and is just easiest to block.

I'm getting 3 calls a day from this number. I was getting several calls a day from a different Optus Telemarketing number and after a bit of research I found an "Opt Out" link provided by Optus. Interesting I am now getting calls from a new Optus Telemarketing number given I lodged the Opt Out form about 6 weeks ago. Not happy.

Calls same time each day. Thankfully I installed "who called me?" (reverse Australia) app on my Android. I can see callers and comments for calls and text. Also gives you the option to block number. Once blocked they can't ring, just a text saying missed call. Pity it's not available for iPhone. All my friends want it now.

I just got a call from these people. My phone displayed their number in digits but had "Sydney, Australia" underneath it... I picked up and got no response on the other end. I looked up the number and found this. I do often find, strangely that most scam numbers won't be identified in my phone (obviously because I don't have them in there) but that the location will be there... Weird. Anyway, I will block these people. These sorts of calls irritate me!

Yep. Suffering like everyone else. Was getting 3 calls a day, one in the morning then again midday and again in the arvo. Called it back after he second day only for it to tell me to call different numbers and then it hung up...? Rang Optus and they have no record of trying to contact me. After I heard this I went into the numbers info and blocked it. I got fed up after 5+ days of regular calls!

Go to the below website to complete an Optus online form that will stop them from contacting you in any way for marketing purposes. Make sure all the YES/NO boxes are NO.

Called 8 times in the last week, sometimes twice a day. Like others here, my number is with Optus, but I did try adding my number to the Optus Opt-Out page with no luck. My number has been on the Do Not Call list as well. Since I haven't answered the call I can't confirm who or what it is, only that they keep calling!

This number also rings me about 2-3 times per day. I reject the calls. My mobile is also with Optus.
