1300 Telephone Numbers in Australia
The short answer on 1300 telephone numbers in Australia — shared-cost inbound numbers, published plans from $10 per month, word options from $40 per month.
A 1300 telephone number in Australia is a shared-cost inbound business number: the caller pays a local call cost, the business pays the remainder, and the number itself stays one published contact point. On 1300 Easy Dial's published plans, 1300 numbers start at $10 per month. That is the short answer; the details below cover what matters in practice.
At a glance
- Caller cost: a local call cost on every call, wherever the caller dials from.
- Business cost: the plan fee — published plans run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month — plus the per-minute remainder under the plan's rate table.
- Word option: the six digits after the 1300 prefix can spell a word (BAKERY reads as 225379), priced from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the word.
- Getting one: search Find a Number, choose a plan, apply with your answer point; the team confirms the exact number and price before connection.
- Terms: billing, suspension and cancellation are governed by the terms and conditions.
How 1300 compares with the other published types
An 1800 number moves the whole call cost to the business — callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context — at the same plan price points. A 13 number is the shorter six-digit format with four usable letter positions; its pricing is not published in the site's plan tables, so 13 specifics are confirmed with the team. The 1300 vs 1800 comparison and the 1300 or 1800 numbers in Australia page walk through the choice.
What a 1300 number is not
Stated plainly: it is not a geographic area-code landline, not a mobile number and not a personal or residential line — none of those are published products here. It is also not a guarantee of call volume: the number changes how customers reach you, not how many decide to. This page publishes no activation timeframe; connection specifics are confirmed with the team.
