Australia Home Phone Number
The numbers offered here are business numbers, not residential home-phone services. If you work from home, a 1300 or 1800 number can answer on your home phone.
The honest scope first
If you are after a residential home-phone service — a household landline plan — that is not what this site offers. The published products are business numbers: 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords. This page cannot help with a personal home phone plan, and it will not pretend otherwise.
What it can help with is the related case that brings most people here: you work from home and want customers to call a business number rather than your personal one.
A business number that answers on your home phone
An inbound 1300 or 1800 number is not tied to a handset. During sign-up, the flow asks for the number the service will connect to — if that is your home phone, calls to your published business number ring there. Customers dial the business number; your personal number stays out of your advertising, your invoices and your website.
- One published contact: the business number stays fixed even if you move house or change phones.
- Caller cost: a 1300 number is shared cost; an 1800 number is free for Australian callers to dial, with the business paying the call charges.
- Plans: published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month — see the pricing page.
- Memorability: a Phoneword spells a word on the keypad, priced from $40 per month.
What to weigh before choosing
A business number answering at home works only as well as the answering habits behind it. If the phone is not answered during business hours, the number will not fix that — but it does give you a contact point you can keep if you later move to premises or add staff, because the published number never changes, only the phone it rings on.
Availability of any specific number is not guaranteed; search Find a Number before settling on a preference. The 1300 numbers overview is the category starting point.
Home phone number questions
Can I get a residential landline here?
No. The published products are inbound business numbers — 1300, 1800 and Phonewords — not household phone plans.
Can a business number ring my home phone?
Yes. The sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to, and calls ring on that phone.
Will customers see my personal number?
No — you publish the business number, and it is what customers dial. The connection number you nominate is the answering phone.
What happens if I move?
The published business number stays the same. How connection changes are handled after sign-up is a question for the team on 1300 327 934.
How much does it cost?
Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month, priced on desirability and availability.
