1300 Phone Number Cost
A 1300 phone number costs the business a plan fee from $10 per month plus per-minute rates — and callers a local call cost. Both sides explained.
A 1300 phone number has a cost on both sides of the call. The caller pays a local call cost — that is the shared-cost design. The business pays the monthly plan fee, starting at $10 on the published plans, plus the per-minute remainder of each call under the plan's rate table. The live pricing page is the source of record for every figure.
The caller's side
Every caller to a 1300 number pays a local call cost, wherever they dial from. That is the published split that defines 1300 and separates it from 1800, where the caller pays nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context and the business carries the whole call charge.
The business's side
- Plan fee: published 1300 plans run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month.
- Per-minute rates: each plan sets its own fixed-line and mobile rates, calculated on a per-second basis, so the device mix of your callers changes the bill.
- Cap mechanics: on Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used — for example, Cap39 lists 250 fixed line minutes plus 100 mobile minutes — then per-minute rates apply.
- Optional add-ons: Call Tracking Numbers ($5/month), IVR Keypress Menu ($35/month) and Postcode Prompter ($250/month) are separately priced.
Reading the cost properly
The fee alone is not the total. Two plans can share a $39 fee with different rate tables and different included minutes, so the same call volume can cost different amounts under each. This page does not calculate example bills — compare the plan rows on the pricing page, and the do 1300 numbers cost page reproduces the full table with commentary. If a word number is part of the plan, word pricing starts from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the specific word. Billing obligations are governed by the terms and conditions.

Cost questions
What does the caller pay on a 1300 number?
A local call cost, wherever they call from. The business pays the remainder of the call charge under its plan's rate table.
What is the minimum a business pays?
The published minimum is the $10 per month Prepaid plan, which lists $5 call credit and its own per-minute rates. Call volume and caller devices determine the rest.
How do Cap plans change the cost?
On Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used — Cap39, for instance, lists 250 fixed line minutes plus 100 mobile minutes — then the plan's per-minute rates apply.
Where is the full rate table?
On the live pricing page. It lists every plan's fee, fixed-line and mobile rates and inclusions, and always governs over summaries like this page.
