Australia Local Number
Looking for an Australia local number? 1300 Easy Dial publishes national inbound 1300, 1800 and Phoneword numbers rather than geographic area-code numbers.
Australia local number usually means a geographic number carrying a city or region area code. That is not what is published here: 1300 Easy Dial offers national inbound numbers for Australian businesses — 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords — and does not publish geographic area-code numbers. If you searched for a local number because you want callers to reach you without a long-distance barrier, the published 1300 model is the closest documented option, and the rest of this page explains why.
- Published products: 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords (a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word on the keypad). No geographic area-code numbers.
- 1300 caller cost: callers pay a local call rate; the business pays the per-minute rate.
- 1800 caller cost: callers can call free in the stated Australian 1800-number context; the business pays the call charges.
- Plans: 1300 and 1800 published plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords from $40 per month.
- Not established: area-code numbering, geographic coverage claims or local exchange lines. The published pages make none of these claims.
The closest published option: a 1300 number
On a 1300 number, the caller pays a local call rate — the familiar, modest cost of a local call — while the business pays the per-minute rate. That shared-cost arrangement is the documented substitute for what people usually want from a "local" number: a call that costs the caller no more than a local call, wherever they ring from. The number itself is not an area-code landline, and the published pages make no geographic or coverage promises; what they document is the caller-cost arrangement and the plans behind it.
When the 1800 range fits better
If even a local call rate is one barrier too many, an 1800 number moves the whole call cost to the business: callers can call free in the stated Australian 1800-number context. Both ranges share the same published plan structure, starting at $10 per month, with tier fees and call rates listed on the pricing page.
What is not published
To be plain about the boundary: this site does not publish geographic numbers, and it makes no claims about area codes, exchange lines or coverage behaviour. Older marketing copy describes 1300 numbers as "local numbers in Australia"; the claim survives only in the caller-cost sense explained above. If you need a geographic number for your setup, this page does not establish one — contact the team to discuss what is available.

Australia local number questions
Can I get a local area-code number here?
No. The published products are national inbound numbers — 1300, 1800 and Phonewords. Geographic area-code numbers are not published, so this page does not offer or establish one.
What is the closest thing to a local number?
A 1300 number. The caller pays a local call rate and the business pays the per-minute rate, which delivers the local-call cost experience without an area code. Plans start at $10 per month.
Do callers in other cities pay more on a 1300 number?
The published record describes the 1300 model as shared cost: the caller pays a local call rate. It does not publish a table of caller charges by location, so this page does not extend the claim beyond the published wording.
Is a "local" 1300 number a landline?
No. A 1300 number is an inbound business number that connects to the answering point nominated in the signup flow. The published pages make no exchange-line or coverage claims.
