1300 Number Australia
The reference profile of a 1300 number in Australia — what it is, what it costs, how it connects, and where the record stops — in one facts-first page.
A 1300 number in Australia, as published on this site, is a shared-cost inbound business number: callers pay a local call cost, the business pays the remainder. It carries no area code, connects calls to the answer point recorded at signup, and rides on published plan rows from $10 per month. This page is the one-paragraph-per-topic profile — definition, cost, connection, and the boundaries of the record.
What it is
One of three published business-number products here, alongside 1800 (free for callers in the stated Australian context) and Phonewords (words on a 13, 1300 or 1800 base). The 1300 arrangement is shared cost by design — the range itself tells callers they will pay a local call cost.
What it costs
Plan rows at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each with its own fixed-line and mobile per-minute rates and, on Cap plans, included allowances — current tables on the pricing page. Rates are per minute, calculated on a per-second basis. A word on the base starts from $40 per month. No total bill is calculated on this page.
How it connects
Word candidates are searched on Find a Number (a listing snapshot); standard numbers are arranged with the team. The signup flow records the number, plan and answer point; the team confirms the exact number and price before connection. Availability settles there — never at search.
Where the record stops
Stated plainly: no geographic area-code variants, no mobile or personal lines, no caller costs documented for calls from outside the stated Australian context, and no activation timeframe. Terms sit in the terms and conditions.
