1300 and 1800 Numbers
What the two inbound ranges share — inbound design, state-neutral numbers, the same plan price points — and the one published difference, who pays for the call.
1300 and 1800 numbers are one family with one difference. Shared: both are inbound business numbers, both are state-neutral with no area code, both connect calls to the answer point recorded at signup, and both publish plans at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. Different: who pays for the call — and that single fact is usually the whole decision.
The shared facts
- Inbound design: both ranges exist for customers dialing the business — they are published contact points, not personal lines.
- State-neutral numbers: no area code on either range; the same number serves callers across Australia.
- The same plan price points: both ranges publish the same five monthly fees, each row with its own fixed-line and mobile rates on the pricing page.
- The same word option: either base can carry a Phoneword of up to six letters, from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the word.
The one difference
On 1300, callers pay a local call cost and the business pays the remainder — the shared-cost design. On 1800, callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context and the business carries the full call charges. The 1300 vs 1800 page works through which arrangement fits which kind of call; the 1300 or 1800 page sorts it by scenario.
What neither range claims
Stated plainly: neither range promises more calls, more sales or national presence as an outcome. And both are business inbound services here — mobile, personal and geographic landline numbers are not published products.

Range questions
Are 1300 and 1800 plans priced the same?
Yes — both ranges publish $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. The per-minute responsibility differs, not the entry price.
Which range should a new business pick?
Decide by caller cost: shared cost suits general lines; free-call suits support and campaign lines. The scenario page sorts it further.
Can a word ride on either range?
Yes — up to six letters on either 1300 or 1800. Search available words on Find a Number; availability settles at confirmation.
Do either of them have an area code?
No. Both ranges are state-neutral with no area code.
