Select a 1300 Number Australia
How to select a 1300 number in Australia — search available Phonewords by word or last six digits, shortlist, then confirm the exact number and price.
Selecting a 1300 number is a two-part published process. First, search — Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords by word or last six digits, and standard numeric numbers are arranged with the team. Second, confirm — the exact number and price are confirmed with you before connection, because the search is a snapshot and does not reserve anything.
How to search for a number
Enter a word or the last six digits of the number you have in mind on Find a Number. What comes back is a snapshot of the current listing — it shows what appears to be available at that moment, and it is not a hold. If you want a word that is not showing, you can try variants or ask the team about a standard numeric number.
What to weigh when selecting
- How the word reads: a Phoneword spells a word on the telephone keypad using a 13, 1300 or 1800 number. Words that map cleanly to your business name or service are the usual shortlist.
- Who pays for the call: a 1300 number is shared cost — callers pay a local call rate, the business pays the per-minute rate. An 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context. The same word can exist as either prefix.
- The plan underneath: the number and the plan are separate decisions. Compare the published plan fees and included minutes on the pricing page.
- Price of the word: Phonewords are priced on the desirability and availability of the word, so the listed plan fee is not the whole picture for a word number — the exact price is confirmed before connection.
What selection does not include
A reservation and a guarantee. Searching does not hold a number, and availability or price is not promised for any specific word until the team confirms it. The 1300 number availability page covers what the search can and cannot establish.
Selection questions
How do I select a 1300 number in Australia?
Search available 1300/1800 Phonewords by word or last six digits, shortlist what fits your business, then confirm the exact number and price with the team before connecting.
Can I select a plain numeric number instead of a word?
Yes. Standard numeric numbers are not listed in the word search — they are arranged with the team.
Does selecting a number in the search reserve it?
No. The search is a snapshot and does not reserve anything. Availability settles when the team confirms the exact number and price — see the reserving a 1300 number page.
Does the same word exist as both 1300 and 1800?
A Phoneword can use a 13, 1300 or 1800 number to spell a word, but each prefix and word combination is a separate listing. Search both on Find a Number and weigh the caller-cost difference.
What else should I settle alongside the number?
The plan and the answer point — the number the service will connect to. Both are recorded in the signup flow, and the plan table is on the pricing page.
