What should you check before buying a business phone number?

Before buying a business phone number, first compare the number category and the current public information for it. 1300 Easy Dial offers 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords for Australian businesses. The category determines which published information is relevant; it does not, by itself, promise a particular number, a service outcome or a business result.

A 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost business number. An 1800 number is presented as free for callers in the stated Australian context, while the business pays call charges. A Phoneword can use a 13, 1300 or 1800 number to spell a word on a telephone keypad, but a particular word must be checked for availability.

Search a Phoneword rather than assuming it can be bought

Find a Number searches available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords. Use it when a word is part of the purchase decision. A search result does not guarantee a reservation, a purchase result or a price for a particular word, so do not rely on a word before checking the current result.

The search is not a substitute for the standard plan table. The Phoneword starting price and the 1300 or 1800 public plan price apply to different decisions. Keep the word result, plan table and service terms as separate sources.

Review current public pricing

The public 1300 and 1800 plans list monthly fees of $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99. Exact landline and mobile call rates vary by plan. The Prepaid and Light plans each list $5 call credit, and published prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.

Use the live pricing page for the final comparison. A monthly fee is not a total-bill estimate, because call volumes, patterns and other circumstances are not established by the published table. Read the terms and conditions for current service and billing information.

What buying this type of number does not confirm

This guide does not promise activation speed, routing, device compatibility, portability, included features or an outcome for a particular business. It also does not say a number will generate more calls, sales or recognition. It is a purchase-research guide that directs the reader to the current category, availability and price evidence.
