Buy a Business Phone Number
Buying a business phone number? Compare 1300 (shared cost), 1800 (caller-free) and Phoneword options with plans from $10 per month — then search availability.
Buying a business phone number here means choosing one of three published inbound products: a 1300 number (shared cost, plans from $10 per month), an 1800 number (free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context; the business pays call charges) or a Phoneword — a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word on the keypad, from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price.
The buying path
- Choose on caller cost: who should pay for calls decides 1300 versus 1800 before anything else.
- Search if you want a word: browse available 1300/1800 Phonewords. Availability is not guaranteed for any specific word.
- Compare the tables: plan fees and per-minute call rates are published on the pricing page — read rates, not just the headline fee.
- Sign up with your answering point: the flow asks for the number the service will connect to.
- Check the terms: the current terms and conditions govern the service.
What you are buying, precisely
A published inbound number and a monthly plan — not a handset, a phone system or a marketing outcome. The published pages make no promise of increased calls or sales, and no activation timeframe is stated here because no durable guarantee is available. What you can verify before purchase is everything above: caller cost, plan price, call rates and the terms.

Buying a business number — questions
Which number should my business buy?
Decide caller cost first: shared cost means a 1300 number; caller-free in the stated Australian context means an 1800 number. Add a Phoneword if the number should spell a brand word.
What does buying cost?
1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting a specific word's price. Call rates differ per plan.
Can I buy a geographic local number?
No. Geographic landline numbers are not part of the published range — the products are 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords.
Is a specific number reserved when I search it?
The published pages do not describe reserving numbers from the search. Availability is confirmed only when confirmed; Find a Number does not guarantee a specific word.
What happens after purchase?
Activation timing is not published on this page. Confirm current timing with the team on 1300 327 934 if you are working to a launch date.
