Business Phone Number
What a business phone number is at 1300 Easy Dial — one published contact point in 1300, 1800 or Phoneword form — and what it does and does not change.
A business phone number, in the way this site uses the term, is one published contact point that customers dial and that delivers calls to the answer point the business records at signup. It is not a handset, a premises line or a personal number. At 1300 Easy Dial it takes one of three published forms: a 1300 number, an 1800 number or a Phoneword.
What the number does
- It gives callers one number to use — state-neutral, no area code, usable on signage, listings and the website alike.
- It sets the caller cost: a 1300 number is shared cost (callers pay a local call cost, the business pays the remainder); an 1800 number is free for callers in the stated Australian context, with the business paying call charges.
- It can carry a word: a Phoneword spells a word on the keypad — up to six letters on a 1300 or 1800 base, four on 13 — from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the word.
What the number does not do
Stated plainly: the published record here does not promise more calls, more sales or a more professional image as a result of the number, and it does not come with a documented feature set beyond the plan rows and the three listed add-ons (Call Tracking Numbers $5/month, IVR Keypress Menu $35/month, Postcode Prompter $250/month). Anything beyond that is not established on this page.
Choosing and connecting one
Compare the three forms on the business number pillar, check plan rows and call rates on the pricing page, and search word candidates on Find a Number — a snapshot of the current listing. The signup flow records the number, the plan and the answer point; the team confirms the exact number and price before connection. No activation timeframe is published.
