Buy a Local Phone Number
Want to buy a local phone number? See the local-presence options actually published on this site — local-rate 1300 numbers and custom Phonewords.
If you want to buy a local phone number, the honest starting point is what "local" can mean here. 1300 Easy Dial does not list geographic area-code landline numbers as a product. What it does publish, through the buy a phone number range, is the next best thing for most businesses: 1300 numbers, which callers dial for the cost of a local call, and custom Phonewords that tie the number to your business name or service. Both are bought online through the published search and signup flow.
The two local-presence options published here
- A 1300 number: a shared-cost business number — the caller pays a local call cost and the business pays the remainder. Public plans start at $10 per month. It gives your business a single contact point without pinning it to one exchange or suburb.
- A custom Phoneword: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number whose digits spell a word on the keypad — your category or brand in the number itself, from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price.
An 1800 number is the third published option; it is free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying call charges. Choose it when "free to call" matters more than the local-rate framing.
How the purchase works
- Search: use Find a Number to search available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords — the published hint is to enter the last six digits or the word you have in mind, without the prefix.
- Compare plans: published 1300 and 1800 plans sit at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month with per-plan call rates on the pricing page.
- Sign up: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to, so have your answering point ready.
What buying here does not include
Stated plainly so you can decide quickly: no geographic area-code numbers (such as 02 or 03 landline formats) are published as products on this site; no availability or price is guaranteed for a specific word until it is confirmed with the team; and service terms such as billing and cancellation are governed by the terms and conditions, which override any summary on this page.

1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word. Call rates per plan are published on the pricing page.
Is the number I search for guaranteed?
No. The search shows what is currently listed as available, and the team confirms the exact number before connection — availability and price are not promised in advance.
