The only variable part is a Phoneword, priced from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price of the specific word.

How the monthly fee works
With Cap plans, the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used; after that, the published per-minute rates apply, billed per second. On the entry tiers, the Prepaid plan at $10 per month includes $5 call credit and is prepaid only, so there is no overage beyond the credit. The 1300 numbers and 1800 numbers pages explain the caller-cost difference — shared cost on 1300, free for callers on 1800 — which does not change the plan fee but does change who pays for the call.
Where a Phoneword changes the total
A Phoneword licence is separate from the plan that carries the calls. The licence starts from $40 per month, priced on the word's desirability and availability, plus the $50 setup, and runs on a 12-month rolling contract — different terms from the month-to-month standard plans. Because the price depends on the word, the published process is to search Find a Number and confirm the exact number and price before connecting. This page does not quote prices for specific words, and no availability is promised for a particular word.
What is not in the published price
All pricing is ex GST, so GST is added on top rather than included. Activation timing is not published on this site, so no setup-speed promise belongs in a cost comparison here. And figures on this page are quoted only as published — no combined, averaged or projected totals, because call charges depend on your call pattern and the plan you choose. For the authoritative tables, including order links, use the pricing page.

Cost questions
What is the cheapest way to start?
The published entry point is $10 per month on a Prepaid 1300 or 1800 plan, which includes $5 call credit and is prepaid only. It is month-to-month, so stepping up a tier later is a plan change rather than a new contract.
Do the listed prices include GST?
No. All published pricing is ex GST.
Why does a Phoneword cost more than a standard plan?
The Phoneword licence prices the word itself, from $40 per month based on desirability and availability, plus a $50 setup on a 12-month rolling contract. The plan that carries the calls is chosen separately from the standard tiers.
Are there extra charges beyond the monthly fee?
The published components are the plan fee, per-minute call rates beyond any included value (billed per second), the Phoneword licence and setup if you choose a premium word, and any add-ons: $5, $35 or $250 per month depending on the service. The pricing page is the source for each figure.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Standard 1300 and 1800 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Only premium numbers — Phonewords from $40 per month — run on a 12-month rolling contract.
