Buy a 1800 Number Activation

How buying an 1800 number activates: search available numbers, pick a plan from $10 per month, then give the answer point at sign-up. No timeframe published.

Activation for an 1800 number runs through the published flow: you choose the number, choose the plan that carries it, and give the answering point at sign-up. An 1800 number is free for callers to dial in the stated Australian 1800-number context, and the business pays the call charges through its plan. That is the whole documented sequence — no activation timeframe is published on this site, so this page describes the flow rather than a schedule.

  • Step one — the number: search available 1300/1800 Phonewords with Find a Number, or proceed with a standard numeric 1800.
  • Step two — the plan: published 1800 plans run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, month-to-month with no lock-in, ex GST.
  • Step three — the answer point: the sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to.
  • Not published: no activation timeframe, and no porting arrangements, appear in the published record.

Step one: settle on the number

A standard numeric 1800 is the straightforward toll-free choice. If you want the number to spell something, a Phoneword puts a word on the keypad of a 13, 1300 or 1800 number. Phonewords are premium numbers with their own published terms, priced from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price. A search on Find a Number shows what is currently available; it does not promise that a particular number will still be available when you sign up, or that it will be at a particular price. The 1800 number options page compares the two formats.

Step two: pick the plan that carries the number

The number sits on a plan, so the plan choice is part of activation. The published 1800 tiers are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, differing in included call credit, minute bundles and per-minute rates. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in, and all pricing is ex GST. The current fees and rate tables live on the pricing page — check there rather than relying on figures quoted anywhere else.

Step three: give the answering point

The sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to — where your 1800 calls ring. That is the published connection detail, and it is the only connection fact this page can state: the record does not describe routing configurations, hardware or coverage, so none are claimed here. If you want a question answered before signing up, the team is reachable on 1300 327 934 or at info@1300easydial.com.au.

What this page does not state

Older pages promised activation in days. That timeframe is not a durable published guarantee, so this page does not state one — ask the team directly if timing matters to your launch. Likewise, arrangements for transferring an existing 1800 number from another provider are not published on this site; the porting page handles that question honestly, and the team can confirm specifics before you commit.

Buying and activating an 1800 number

How long does activation take?

No activation timeframe is published on this site, so this page does not state one. If timing is critical to your launch, ask the team on 1300 327 934 before committing.

What do I need to have ready?

Three things make activation concrete: a shortlist of numbers from Find a Number, a plan choice from the pricing page, and the answering point — the number the service will connect to, which sign-up asks for.

Can I transfer my existing 1800 number?

Porting arrangements are not published on this site, so this page cannot describe them. Ask the team before signing up if keeping your existing number is a condition of the purchase.

What does the plan cost once active?

Published 1800 plans run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST, with per-minute rates and inclusions listed per tier on the pricing page. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in.

Can I activate a word number instead?

Yes, as a Phoneword — a premium number priced from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price, carrying its own published contract and setup terms on the pricing page. Search the available Phonewords first.
