Buy a 1300 Number Providers
What a 1300 number provider supplies, how to compare published plans and rates, and the 1300 and Phoneword options 1300 Easy Dial publishes.
Buying a 1300 number means choosing a provider, a number and a monthly plan. A provider supplies the number itself, hosts it on a plan and connects calls to the answer point your business nominates. 1300 Easy Dial provides 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords to Australian businesses, and this page describes that published offering only. It does not compare other providers.
The published facts to start from:
- Products: 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords (Smart numbers) for Australian businesses.
- Published plans: 1300 and 1800 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST.
- Phonewords: from $40 per month, priced on the desirability and availability of the word.
- Standard plans: month-to-month, with no lock-in on the standard 1300 and 1800 tiers.
- Number search: Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords.
- Add-ons: Call Tracking Numbers ($5/month), IVR Keypress Menu ($35/month) and Postcode Prompter ($250/month).
What a 1300 number provider actually supplies
A 1300 number is a shared-cost business number: callers pay a local call rate and the business pays the per-minute call charges. The provider's job is to hold the number, put it on a plan and point it at the answer point you nominate. During sign-up you are asked for the number the service will connect to. The exact arrangements for your service are confirmed through the signup flow rather than assumed on this page.
The plan is where most of the comparison happens. A published plan should state the monthly fee and the call rates that apply once any included value is used. Rather than relying on an estimate, check the current pricing page, which lists every published plan, its monthly fee and its call-rate table. All pricing is ex GST.
How to compare providers on what is published
You cannot compare provider quality from an advertisement, but you can compare what each provider puts in writing:
- Published prices: monthly plan fees and call rates shown openly, not "from" figures without a table behind them.
- Contract terms: whether the plan is month-to-month. Standard 1300 and 1800 plans at 1300 Easy Dial are month-to-month with no lock-in; premium numbers carry their own published terms, which the pricing page states.
- Availability search: whether you can search for an available number before committing. Use Find a Number to search available 1300/1800 Phonewords. It does not promise that a particular word is available or available at a particular price.
- Contact details: a published phone number and email you can use before you buy.
What 1300 Easy Dial publishes
The published offering covers 1300 numbers from $10 per month, 1800 numbers from $10 per month, and Phonewords from $40 per month priced on desirability and availability. Add-on services are published at Call Tracking Numbers $5 per month, IVR Keypress Menu $35 per month and Postcode Prompter $250 per month. Exact call rates and included minutes sit on the pricing page so the numbers you compare are the ones that apply.
Again, this page does not rank or compare other providers, and nothing on it should be read as a promise of call volume, sales or search rankings. It sets out what is published so you can judge the offer on its own terms. For the fuller category overview, see buy a 1300 number.
