Compare 1300 Numbers Australia

Comparing 1300 numbers in Australia comes down to the published plan facts: the monthly fee, the included value, the call rates, and whether the number itself is a standard numeric or a premium Phoneword. All published prices are ex GST, and standard 1300 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. What this page does not offer is a provider comparison — the only figures below are 1300 Easy Dial's own published plans.

1300 plans side by side

Plan	Monthly fee	Fixed line	Mobile	Includes
1300 Prepaid	$10/mo	12c/min	32c/min	$5 call credit — prepaid only
1300 Light	$15/mo	12c/min	32c/min	$5 call credit
1300 Cap39	$39/mo	10c/min	30c/min	250 Fixed Line mins + 100 Mobile mins
1300 Fixed Cap39	$39/mo	15c/min	35c/min	500 Fixed Line mins
1300 Mobile Cap39	$39/mo	12c/min	30c/min	250 Mobile mins
1300 Cap79	$79/mo	7c/min	25c/min	750 Fixed Line mins + 300 Mobile mins
1300 High Volume	$99/mo	5c/min	16c/min	$99 call credit

All pricing is ex GST. Call rates are per minute, billed per second. With Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply. The pricing page is the source of record for these figures.

How to choose between the plans

Match the included value to where your calls come from. The Cap39 variants differ in mix — the standard Cap39 splits its allowance between fixed line and mobile minutes, Fixed Cap39 puts all 500 minutes into fixed lines, and Mobile Cap39 puts all 250 minutes into mobile. If you expect only a few calls, the Prepaid and Light plans carry a $5 call credit instead of included minutes. Higher tiers raise both the included value and the plan fee.

1300 or 1800?

The difference is caller cost, not the plan table. A 1300 number is shared cost — callers pay a local call rate and the business pays the per-minute rate. An 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges. The 1800 plan table carries the same fees as the 1300 table, so the choice is about who pays for the call. See 1800 numbers for that side of the comparison.

Standard numbers versus Phonewords

A standard numeric 1300 number runs on the plan fees above, month-to-month. A Phoneword — a number that spells a word on the telephone keypad — is a premium number. Published Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price, plus a $50 setup subject to number selection and availability, on a 12-month rolling contract. The exact number and price are confirmed with you before connection.
