Australian Phone Number Options for Business

An Australian business phone number, in the form this site publishes, is an inbound number in the 1300, 1800 or Phoneword family: customers dial a business contact point, the business answers the calls, and the plan sets who pays what. 1300 Easy Dial offers these three categories — 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords — with public plans starting at $10 per month.

The three number types

1300 number: a shared-cost business number. The caller pays a local call cost; the business pays the remainder.
1800 number: free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context; the business pays the call charges.
13 number: the shorter six-digit inbound variant, which the published FAQ notes is typically used by larger national companies.
Phoneword: any of the above spelled as a word on the keypad — 2 ABC, 3 DEF, 4 GHI, 5 JKL, 6 MNO, 7 PQRS, 8 TUV, 9 WXYZ. For example, 1300 327 934 spells 1300 EASY DIAL.

What the published pages establish

Public 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month, with published plans across $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word. The pricing page holds the current fees, per-minute rates and the three add-ons: Call Tracking Numbers ($5 per month), an IVR Keypress Menu ($35 per month) and a Postcode Prompter ($250 per month).

The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answering point your calls reach. Beyond that step, the published pages do not make geographic, device or coverage claims, so this page does not either.

A note on number structure

The published format is consistent across the family: a 1300 or 1800 number carries a four-digit prefix plus a six-digit tail — which is why the Find a Number search works on the last six digits — while a 13 number is the shorter six-digit form. When you see a number written with a word on the end, it is the same tail spelled on the keypad: 1300 EASY DIAL is 1300 327 934, digit for digit.

Australian phone number questions

What kind of phone number should an Australian business use?

It depends on the caller arrangement you want: shared cost on a 1300 number, caller-free on an 1800 number in the Australian context, or a memorable word via a Phoneword. The trade-offs above, and the pricing page, are the published basis for the decision.

Do callers outside Australia pay the same?

The published material describes caller cost in the Australian context only — free calling on 1800 in the stated Australian 1800-number context. It does not establish how international dialling is charged, so this page does not claim it.

Can I choose a word instead of digits?

Yes — that is a Phoneword, available on 13, 1300 or 1800 bases. Search available words with Find a Number; a specific word is not guaranteed until confirmed.

What does an Australian business number cost?

Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price. Check the pricing page for current tables.
