1300 Number Australia Steps
The six steps to a 1300 number in Australia, as a checklist — each with its published fact — plus the two things that are deliberately not steps.
The path to a 1300 number in Australia is a checklist, and this page is the checklist — six steps, each with its published fact, plus two things that are deliberately not steps. The getting a 1300 number in Australia pillar holds the surrounding context.
The six steps
- Decide the arrangement: 1300 is shared cost — callers pay a local call cost, the business pays the remainder. Callers paying nothing instead is the 1800 arrangement.
- Draft your words: if you want the number to spell something, list candidates that map within the published rules (up to six letters, no 0 or 1 digits).
- Search or arrange: check words on Find a Number by word or last six digits; standard numbers are arranged with the team. The listing is a snapshot.
- Choose the plan row: published rows run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month with per-row call rates on the pricing page. A word, where applicable, starts from $40 per month.
- Apply: the signup flow records the number, the plan and the answer point the service will connect to.
- Confirm: the team confirms the exact number and price before connection — the step where availability settles.
The two non-steps
Stated plainly: waiting on a published timeframe is not a step — none is published, and connection timing is confirmed with the team. And reserving the number is not a step — searching holds nothing; the confirmation does the settling. Terms sit in the terms and conditions.

Checklist questions
Which step matters most?
Confirmation — it is where availability and the exact price settle. Everything before it is preparation.
Can I do the steps out of order?
The plan row and answer point can be settled in any order; searching before deciding the arrangement risks searching the wrong base.
What if I skip the words?
Then step 3 becomes arranging a standard numeric number with the team — the same steps apply without the word price.
How long does the checklist take?
The steps are quick; the connection timing is not published. The team confirms specifics when you apply.
