What 1300 Phone Numbers Cost
The published cost picture for 1300 phone numbers — plans from $10 per month, shared caller cost, per-plan rates and inclusions, without calculated examples.
The cost of a 1300 phone number is documented in two published layers: the plan and the call rates. A 1300 is a shared-cost number — callers pay a local call rate and the business pays the remainder at the plan's per-minute rates — and the plans start at $10 per month. This page reads the cost picture from the published tables on the pricing page, which always govern.
Layer 1: the published plan fees
Public 1300 plans sit at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. The fee is the fixed part of the cost; what separates the tiers is what each layer 2 looks like.
Layer 2: the published rates and inclusions
| Plan | Fixed line rate | Mobile rate | Published inclusion |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1300 Prepaid ($10) | 12c per minute | 32c per minute | $5 call credit |
| 1300 Light ($15) | 12c per minute | 32c per minute | $5 call credit |

| 1300 High Volume ($99) | 5c per minute | 16c per minute | $99 call credit |
Rates are per minute, calculated on a per-second basis. On Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply. This page reproduces the published figures without calculating examples — the live tables govern any purchase decision.
The shared-cost layer most summaries skip
Because a 1300 splits each call with the caller, the business's effective cost per call is lower than the rate table alone suggests — the caller's local call rate comes off the top. How large that share is depends on the callers and the plan, which is why the published tables are the comparison point rather than any single figure on this page.
