Choosing Among 1800 Number Providers
Comparing 1800 number providers? What 1300 Easy Dial publishes about its own 1800 service, and the checks worth running on any provider — including this one.
A 1800 number provider comparison can only be as honest as what each provider publishes — which is why this page ranks no one, including 1300 Easy Dial. It states what this provider publishes about its 1800 service, then sets out the checks that make any provider comparison fair. Run them on everyone.
What this provider publishes about 1800
The service: inbound 1800 numbers — free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges — chosen from the Find a Number listing, including word numbers up to six letters. The plans: a published ladder at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each tier with its own call-rate table on the pricing page. The mechanism: signup asks for the answering point the number connects to, with no hardware or installation in the published flow. A word premium applies to Phonewords, from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the figure.
What this provider does not publish
No activation timeframe appears on any page — timing is confirmed per number by the team. No ranking, "best provider" or outcome claim appears either: no page attaches calls, sales or recall to the numbers. And international caller behaviour is not published — the free-caller wording is scoped to the Australian context. Those gaps are deliberate: a provider that publishes only what it can substantiate is easier to compare honestly, whichever provider it is.
The checks worth running on any 1800 provider
- Published rates: are the call-rate tables visible, or only the monthly fee? Volume decides the real cost on 1800, because callers pay nothing.
- Scoped claims: does the free-for-callers promise state its scope? Unscoped toll-free claims are a warning sign.
- Availability honesty: does the provider confirm per number, or promise any word you type?
- Readable terms: are use, billing and cancellation published? The terms and conditions are the document that governs whatever you sign.

Reading a provider's entry plan honestly
The entry plan is where comparisons start and where they mislead. A low monthly fee with high call rates suits a quiet line and punishes a busy one — on 1800, where the business pays every call, the rate table is the whole cost story at volume. The published entry plan here is $10 per month with its rates on the pricing page, and the fair comparison is against other providers' tables at the same assumed volume, not against their headline fees. Any comparison that stops at the entry price has compared the least informative number on the page.
1800 provider questions
Who is the best 1800 number provider in Australia?
This page does not rank providers. The best answer for your business comes from running the checks above against shortlisted providers and the published facts each one offers.
Why do 1800 plan prices vary between providers?
Plan ladders and rate tables differ by provider. This site's published 1800 ladder runs $10 to $99 per month; comparison happens on the rate tables, not the entry fee.
Can I keep my 1800 number if I change providers?
Transfer arrangements are governed by the terms and conditions and are not summarised on this page. Ask the team before assuming any portability outcome.
Do all providers offer 1800 word numbers?
Product sets differ. This site's word numbers ride the same listing and letter limits as its plain numbers — six letters on the 1800 base — with pricing published from $40 per month.
