Buy a 1300 Number Activation

Activating a 1300 number at 1300 Easy Dial follows the published flow: search for the number, choose a plan, and give the answer point when sign-up asks for it. One boundary up front — no activation timeframe is published, so this page does not promise one. What it does state is each step of the connection path, and what you can prepare so nothing is left half-done on your side.

Step 1: Choose and confirm the number

Use Find a Number to search available 1300/1800 Phonewords. A numeric 1300 is the standard shared-cost option; a word that spells out on the keypad is a Phoneword, priced on the desirability and availability of the word. Availability is never guaranteed by the search, and the exact number and price are confirmed with you before anything is connected — so treat the search result as a shortlist, not a booking.

Step 2: Choose the plan

Published 1300 plans run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST, month-to-month with no lock-in on standard plans. A 1300 number is shared-cost: callers pay a local call rate, and the business pays the per-minute rate that applies to its plan, which varies by caller device. The pricing page lists the fees, rates and inclusions for every tier.

Step 3: Connect the number

The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answer point that takes your calls. That is the one connection detail required, so have it ready before you start. If the calls will land somewhere unusual, or you are not sure the answer point is set up to receive them, contact the team before signing up.

What is not stated on this page

Timeframes: no activation turnaround is published anywhere in the current record, so none is claimed here. Ask the team for current timing if a date matters.
Porting: moving an existing 1300 number is a separate path with its own boundaries — see porting a 1300 number.
Routing beyond the answer point: the published record covers the answer point you provide. This page does not establish routing, device or coverage behaviour beyond that.

Activation questions

How long does 1300 number activation take?

No activation timeframe is published, so this page cannot give one. Contact the team on 1300 327 934 for current timing rather than planning around a figure stated elsewhere.

What does the activation flow ask me for?

The number the service will connect to — your answer point. That is the published connection detail. Choosing the number and the plan happens in the two steps before it.

Can I activate a number before it is confirmed available?

No — the exact number and price are confirmed with you before connection. The search at Find a Number shows candidates; it does not reserve one.

I already have a 1300 number with another provider. Is this the same process?

That is porting, not a new activation, and this page does not cover it. The porting page states what is and is not published about the process.
