1300 Phone Number
The 1300 phone number essentials — a shared-cost inbound number, plans from $10 per month, six digits that can spell a word, and the path to get one.
A 1300 phone number is the shared-cost inbound business number: customers dial one published contact point, the caller pays a local call cost, and the business pays the remainder under its plan. Everything essential about the product fits in the table below; the sections after it fill in the parts people usually ask about.

The two parts people ask about most
The word. The six digits after the 1300 prefix can spell a word through the keypad mapping — BAKERY reads as 225379 — with 0 and 1 carrying no letters. Word pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the specific word; search candidates on Find a Number.
The plan. Published rows run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month with different fixed-line and mobile rate tables and, on Cap plans, included minute allowances. Three rows share a $39 fee with different tables — compare rows on the pricing page, not fees alone.
One boundary worth knowing early
The 1300 range is not the free-call range — callers always contribute a local call cost, by design. If removing the caller charge is the goal, the 1800 arrangement is the alternative at the same plan price points, with the business carrying the whole call charge. Deciding that before searching keeps the rest of the process clean, because the arrangement travels with the number you secure.
