1300 Phone Number Setup

Set up a 1300 number in three steps: choose the number, pick a published plan from $10 per month and connect the service to the phone you answer.

Setting up a 1300 number comes down to three decisions: choose the number, pick a published plan and connect the service to the phone you answer. Published 1300 plans start at $10 per month, ex GST, and standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. No activation timeframe is published on this site, so none can be quoted here.

The steps below walk through each decision, what the sign-up flow asks for and which setup costs are published.

Step 1: choose the number

Decide first whether you want a standard numeric 1300 number or a Phoneword that spells a word on the keypad. Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords. A search result is not a reservation — availability is confirmed before you connect, and desirability and availability affect Phoneword pricing, which starts from $40 per month.

Step 2: pick a plan

The published 1300 plans sit across the $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 monthly tiers, with per-minute call rates billed per second. With Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply. All pricing is ex GST, and the current fee and rate tables live on the pricing page — read those tables rather than relying on an estimate.

Contract terms differ by number type: standard 1300 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in, while premium numbers such as Phonewords run on a 12-month rolling contract with a $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability.

Step 3: connect the service

The sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to, so have the answering phone ready before you start. If you are unsure which number to point the service at, the team on 1300 327 934 can talk it through before you sign up.
