Buy a Business Number
What you are actually buying — a number, a plan and a connection point. The published components, prices and the two confirmations that come from the team.
Buying a business number is clearer when you name the components. There are three: the number itself, the monthly plan that carries it, and the answering point it connects to. On 1300 Easy Dial the first is chosen from availability, the second from published plans starting at $10 per month, and the third is nominated by you in the signup flow. The buy a phone number overview covers the family of options; this page itemises the purchase.
Component 1: the number
Two styles are published. Standard digits ride on 1300 or 1800 plans; word numbers — Phonewords — spell a word on the keypad and start from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word. Either way, availability is never promised in advance: the Find a Number search shows the current available listing, and the team confirms the exact number before connection.
Component 2: the plan
Published 1300 and 1800 plans sit at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each with its own call-rate table on the pricing page — fixed line and mobile rates differ per plan, Cap plans list included minute allowances, and Prepaid and Light list call credit. The plan is the running cost of the purchase, so match it to your call volume and device mix rather than to the fee alone.
Component 3: the connection point
The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — your phone line or system. That answering point is part of what you are setting up: the published pages describe the step but make no device claims, so if your setup is unusual, raise it with the team before signing up. Service terms are governed by the terms and conditions.
The two confirmations that come from the team
- The exact number and price: a search result is a snapshot; the confirmation at connection is what settles availability and any word-specific price.
- Current timing: no activation timeframe is published on the current pages, so ask the team when the number will take calls if your launch depends on it.

Buying a business number: questions
What am I buying when I buy a number?
Three components: the number (chosen from availability), a monthly plan from $10 per month, and the connection to the answering point you nominate at signup.
Do I own the number after purchase?
What you hold in a number is governed by the terms and conditions, which override any summary here — read them before buying rather than relying on a page like this one.
Can I buy now and choose the plan later?
The number and the plan are settled together at signup. Compare the published plan and rate tables on the pricing page first so the signup is one clean step.
Is the business number guaranteed to be mine alone?
The published pages confirm the exact number with you before connection and govern the service by published terms. Exclusivity specifics are a terms question — check the terms and conditions or ask the team.
