1800 Numbers Australia Cost
The published 1800 cost table — plans from $10 per month with per-minute fixed-line and mobile rates, callers pay nothing. Full figures reproduced here.
In Australia, the cost of an 1800 number has one published split: callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context, and the business pays the monthly plan fee plus the per-minute call charges. The published 1800 plans start at $10 per month. The table below reproduces the current published 1800 plans; the live pricing page always governs.

Call rates are published per minute, calculated on a per-second basis. The Prepaid and Light plans list $5 call credit; the Cap plans list included minute allowances (for example, 750 fixed line minutes plus 300 mobile minutes on Cap79); the High Volume plan lists $99 call credit. Check each plan row on the pricing page for its current inclusions.
What changes the total
- Caller devices: fixed-line and mobile rates differ on every plan, so who calls and from what changes the bill.
- Plan choice: three published plans share the $39 fee with different rate tables and inclusions — compare rows, not fees.
- Cap mechanics: on Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply.
Not part of the published figures
Stated plainly: word pricing is separate — a Phoneword starts from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the specific word — and no page here calculates example bills or forecasts a total. Billing obligations are governed by the terms and conditions.

1800 cost questions

Do callers pay anything on an 1800 number?
No — callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context. The business pays the call charges under its plan's rate table.
Why do three plans share the $39 fee?

Where can I verify these rates?
