Buy a 1800 Number Best Deal
The best-value 1800 number is the plan that matches your call volume: published tiers from $10 to $99 per month ex GST, month-to-month, Phonewords from $40.
The best deal on an 1800 number is not a discount claim — it is the published plan whose inclusions match your call volume and line mix, so you are not paying for capacity you do not use. Every tier is published, priced from $10 per month, month-to-month with no lock-in, ex GST. On that published basis alone, the matching exercise below is the honest version of "best deal": this page makes no cheapest-in-market claim and compares itself with no other provider.
- $10 Prepaid: includes $5 call credit; prepaid only, so it never generates an overage.
- $15 Light: includes $5 call credit.
- $39 Cap39: includes 250 Fixed Line minutes plus 100 Mobile minutes — the tier the published pricing page marks as most popular.
- $39 Fixed Cap39 / Mobile Cap39: 500 Fixed Line minutes, or 250 Mobile minutes, for traffic that runs mostly one way.
- $79 Cap79: 750 Fixed Line plus 300 Mobile minutes. $99 High Volume: $99 call credit.
Matching the tier to the need
If you expect a handful of calls, the Prepaid plan at $10 per month keeps the commitment minimal — $5 of call credit, prepaid only, and the published pricing page notes you can upgrade to Cap39 at any time. If calls skew to fixed lines, Fixed Cap39 at $39 per month carries 500 Fixed Line minutes; if they skew to mobiles, Mobile Cap39 carries 250 Mobile minutes. A mixed call profile fits Cap39's 250-plus-100 bundle, and the higher tiers at $79 and $99 carry the bigger bundles for heavier volumes.
The economics that make one tier "best" for a business are its own call volume and caller mix — facts only you have. What the published record adds is how the tiers charge: call rates are per minute, billed per second, and with the Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply. The full tables are on the pricing page, which the pricing breakdown page walks through tier by tier.
Where a word number changes the maths
If the "deal" includes the number itself — a word that spells the business name — a Phoneword on the 1800 range is a premium number, from $40 per month plus a $50 setup, on a 12-month rolling contract, subject to number selection and availability. That is a different shape of purchase from a standard numeric plan: a licence on top of the plan. Availability of a particular word is never promised, so check Find a Number and confirm the exact number and price before comparing it with a numeric plan. The premium 1800 number page covers this path in detail.
What this page does not claim
Published terms are the only basis of comparison here. This page does not claim 1300 Easy Dial is the cheapest or best provider in the market, does not compare against named competitors, and does not promise that any tier will save money — the right tier depends on call volume, and only your call data establishes that. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in, so a mismatch can be corrected rather than endured; read the terms and conditions before signing up.

Best-deal questions on 1800 numbers
What is the cheapest 1800 plan?
The lowest published monthly fee on this site is $10 per month for the Prepaid plan, which includes $5 call credit and is prepaid only, so it never generates an overage. That is the published floor — this page does not claim it is the cheapest available anywhere in the market.
Which plan is the best value?
Whichever tier's inclusions match your call volume and line mix. Cap39 at $39 per month — 250 Fixed Line plus 100 Mobile minutes — is marked most popular on the published pricing page, but "best" depends on your own call data, which no published page can know.
Am I locked into a contract?
Standard 1800 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Premium numbers — Phonewords from $40 per month — run on a 12-month rolling contract with a $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability.
Do the prices include GST?
No — all published pricing is ex GST. Call rates are per minute, billed per second.
Can I change plans if I pick wrong?
Standard plans are month-to-month, and the published pricing page notes you can upgrade from Prepaid to Cap39 at any time. That flexibility is the practical safety net for a first plan choice; confirm current plan-change terms with the team or the pricing page.
