Best Small Business Phone Service Providers
No provider ranking is published here — compare small business phone services on published facts: number types, plan fees, call rates and terms.
There is no honest way for this site to rank "best" small business phone service providers, because no evidence for a ranking is published here. What you can do is compare providers — including 1300 Easy Dial — on checkable facts: which number types are offered, what plans cost, how call rates are structured, and what the terms say. 1300 Easy Dial publishes 1300 numbers (shared cost, plans from $10 per month), 1800 numbers (free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context; the business pays call charges) and Phonewords (a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word, from $40 per month).
The comparison checklist
- Number types: does the provider sell the inbound number type your customers expect — and can they spell a word on the keypad if that matters to you?
- Plan fees: published monthly fees, with the pricing page listing 1300 and 1800 plans from $10 per month.
- Call rates: per-minute rates differ by plan and caller type; published rate tables beat estimates.
- Availability handling: search available 1300/1800 Phonewords, but availability is not guaranteed for any specific word anywhere.
- Terms: billing, suspension and cancellation live in the terms and conditions, not in advertising.
What small businesses usually weigh first
For most small businesses the decision starts with caller cost: an 1800 number absorbs the caller's charge, while a 1300 number shares it. Plan price comes next, and the published rate tables matter more than the headline fee if call volume is unpredictable. A Phoneword is a separate consideration — it is about what the number communicates, and its price varies with desirability. None of these choices guarantees more calls or sales; the published pages make no such promise.

Small business provider questions
Who is the best phone service provider for small business?
This site publishes no ranking. Compare providers on published facts — number types, plan fees, call-rate tables, Phoneword pricing and terms — against your own call volume.
What does 1300 Easy Dial charge per month?
Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word.
Which plan suits a small business?
It depends on expected call volume and caller mix, because per-minute rates differ by plan. Compare the tables on the pricing page rather than picking on the headline fee.
Do I need a business phone system as well?
The signup flow asks only for the number the service will connect to — your answering point. The published pages do not establish requirements for handsets, apps or systems.
