1300 Number Australia — What It Costs to Buy

Buying a 1300 number in Australia has two cost parts, and the published pages price both: the monthly plan, and the per-minute call charges on top. Public 1300 plans start at $10 per month, with published plans across $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. A 1300 number is a shared-cost business number — the caller pays a local call cost and your business pays the remainder — so the call-rate table matters as much as the fee.

The published plan fees

The published 1300 plan line-up runs $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. Each plan carries its own fixed-line and mobile per-minute rates and its own included value — the entry plans include a small call credit, the mid plans include call minutes, and the top plan includes a larger call credit. The pricing page holds the current tables in full; this page does not reproduce or calculate them, because the pricing page is the source that governs.

What the plan fee does not include

Call charges beyond the plan's included value: once included value or minutes run out, the plan's per-minute rates apply. Rates differ for fixed-line and mobile callers.
Phoneword pricing: if the 1300 number spells a word, the word itself is priced separately, starting from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
Add-on services: Call Tracking Numbers ($5 per month), an IVR Keypress Menu ($35 per month) and a Postcode Prompter ($250 per month) are listed separately.
Terms-based obligations: billing and cancellation live in the terms and conditions, not in a marketing summary.

Fixed-line and mobile rates differ

The published tables price the two caller types separately: each plan lists one per-minute rate for fixed-line calls and a higher one for mobile calls, and the gap is consistent across the line-up. That is why the caller mix matters — a business taking mostly mobile calls pays more per minute on the same plan than one taking mostly fixed-line calls, and the plan tables are where that trade-off becomes concrete. Check both columns before choosing rather than reading only the monthly fee.

How to price your own situation honestly

Estimate two things: roughly how many calls you expect, and whether they come mostly from fixed lines or mobiles. Then read the plan tables on the pricing page against those expectations — the published rates make the comparison direct, and no estimate on this page should substitute for the tables themselves.

1300 cost questions

What is the cheapest 1300 number to buy?

The published entry plan is $10 per month. What you pay beyond that depends on the plan's call rates and your call volume — the pricing page holds the current tables.

Do callers pay to dial a 1300 number?

Yes — a local call cost. That is what makes 1300 a shared-cost number: the caller's contribution covers part of the call and the business pays the remainder.

Is a Phoneword more expensive than a plain 1300 number?

The word is priced on top of the plan: Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price, while a plain available 1300 number starts at the plan floor.

Where do I find the exact rates?

On the pricing page — plan fees, fixed-line and mobile per-minute rates and included value are all listed there. Rates are per minute, calculated per second, and the tables are the current source of truth.
