1300 Name Numbers — Your Name in the Digits
A 1300 name number spells a name on the keypad. How names convert to digits, the six-letter limit, and how to search whether your name is available.
A 1300 name number is a Phoneword whose six digits spell a name — your business name, or the category you trade under — using the letters on the telephone keypad. It is a standard 1300 number underneath: shared cost, plans from $10 per month, connecting to the answering point you nominate. This page covers how names become digits and how to check yours.
How a name converts to digits
The published keypad mapping is 2 ABC, 3 DEF, 4 GHI, 5 JKL, 6 MNO, 7 PQRS, 8 TUV and 9 WXYZ. Read the name letter by letter: BAKERY becomes 225379; FLOWER becomes 356937. The name must fit six letters on a 1300 base — the published format table's limit — and cannot use 0 or 1, which carry no letters. A longer name needs a shortened form: a six-letter trading word rather than the full business name.
Checking your name's availability
Search it directly: the Find a Number search accepts the word or the last six digits, without the 1300 prefix, and lists available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords. The result is the current listing — a snapshot, not a reservation. If the exact name is not listed, two honest fallbacks exist: work neighbouring variants (a shortened or plural form maps to different digits), or discuss standard digit numbers with the team when you contact us.
What the name rides on
The word format is priced separately from standard digits: Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word — and a business's own name is subject to the same published rule as any other word. The underlying 1300 plan carries the call-rate table on the pricing page, with rates differing between fixed line and mobile callers. Service terms are governed by the terms and conditions.

1300 name number questions
How many letters of my name fit after 1300?
Six, per the published format table. The 1300 prefix is fixed and the word must fit the six remaining digits; longer names need a shortened form.
Can I check whether my business name is available?
Search the name or its digits on Find a Number. The result shows the current available listing; the team confirms the exact number and price before connection.
Does my name cost more than a random word?
All words follow the same published rule: pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the specific word's price. No per-word list is published in advance.
Is a name number still a normal 1300 number?
Yes — beneath the word it is a standard 1300: shared caller cost, published plan rates and the answering point you nominate at signup.
