1800 Number For My Business

An 1800 number gives your business one published contact point that callers can dial free of charge in the stated Australian 1800-number context, while the business pays the call charges under its plan. Whether that arrangement suits your business comes down to who should pay at dial time, and what the published plans cost — so here are both sides.

The published facts, in one place:

For callers: an 1800 number is free to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context.
For the business: call charges are paid by the business, under the plan it chooses.
Plans: published 1800 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST.
Contracts: standard plans are month-to-month, with no lock-in.
One contact point: the number is a single published point for website, signage and ads.

What changes for your callers

The caller-side change is the charge: dialling an 1800 number costs the caller nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context. The toll-free prefix is widely understood in Australia, which is why businesses use it where the call should carry no barrier — support lines, booking lines and enquiry lines are the common cases. What a free call does for your enquiry volume is not something this page can promise; it describes the payment arrangement only.

What changes for your business

The business carries the call charges, so the plan and its rate table matter. The published 1800 plans run $10 to $99 per month, with included allowances on the Cap tiers before per-minute rates apply — the pricing page lists each row. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. The number itself becomes one stable contact point you can publish consistently, instead of listing different lines for different purposes.

Is 1800 the right choice?

If removing the caller's cost entirely is the goal, the 1800 arrangement is the one that does it. A 1300 number is the shared-cost alternative, where the caller and the business each carry part of the call cost. If the number should also spell a word, a Phoneword can be built on the 1800 base — availability and desirability decide what is possible, and Find a Number searches what is currently listed.

How to get one

The flow is choose, plan, connect: search availability, compare the published plans, then record the answer point — the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to. No activation timeframe is published, so this page does not promise one. Questions before you commit go to the team via contact us.
