Buy Australian Phone Number for Business

An Australian phone number you can buy for your business through 1300 Easy Dial is one of three products: a 1300 number (shared cost, callers pay a local call rate), an 1800 number (free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context) or a Phoneword (a number that spells a word on the keypad). Published 1300 and 1800 plans run $10 to $99 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month. All pricing is ex GST.

What you can buy, in one place:

1300 number: shared-cost; published plans $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month.
1800 number: free for callers in the Australian 1800 context; the same published plan tiers.
Phoneword: from $40 per month, priced on the desirability and availability of the word; premium numbers carry a $50 setup on a 12-month rolling contract, subject to number selection and availability.
Contracts: standard 1300/1800 plans are month-to-month, with no lock-in.
Search: Find a Number lists available 1300/1800 Phonewords.

Choosing between the three

The choice starts with who should pay when a customer calls. A 1300 number is the shared-cost arrangement: the caller pays a local call rate and the business pays the per-minute rate under its plan. An 1800 number removes the caller's charge in the stated Australian context and puts the whole call cost on the business. A Phoneword is a separate axis — it changes what the number looks like, not who pays — and it can be built on a 13, 1300 or 1800 base, subject to availability. The buy an Australian phone number pillar works through this decision in detail, and the Australian phone number options page compares the choices.

What the purchase costs

For 1300 and 1800 numbers, the published tiers are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST, each with its own included minutes and per-minute rates — with the Cap plans, the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. For Phonewords, the licence starts from $40 per month plus a one-off $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability, on a 12-month rolling contract; the hosting plan is priced separately. The full tables are on the pricing page, and the Australian phone number cost page breaks the cost question down further.

How the purchase works

The flow is choose, plan, connect. Search availability in Find a Number — the listing is a snapshot, and the team confirms the exact number and price before anything connects. Compare the plan rows for the tier that matches your expected call volume. Then record the answer point: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to. No activation timeframe is published, so this page does not promise one. Service terms, billing and cancellation are governed by the terms and conditions.

Before you buy

Three checks keep the purchase honest. Check the number itself — availability and, for a Phoneword, the licence price are only settled when the team confirms them. Check the plan table rather than any headline price, because included value and call rates differ tier by tier. Check the contract basis — month-to-month on standard plans, 12-month rolling on the premium Phoneword licence — so the commitment matches how you plan to use the number.
