Buy Numbers
Buying business numbers in Australia, what 1300 Easy Dial sells, how 1300, 1800 and Phoneword pricing works and how to check availability before you buy.
You can buy three kinds of numbers from 1300 Easy Dial: a 1300 number, an 1800 number or a Phoneword. The buying process is the same shape for each — search what is available, choose a published plan, and connect the number to the line or service that answers your calls. The prices differ: 1300 and 1800 plans are published from $10 per month, and Phonewords start from $40 per month.
What you can buy
- 1300 number: a shared-cost business number. Callers pay a local call rate; the business pays the per-minute rate on its plan.
- 1800 number: free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges.
- Phoneword: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word on the telephone keypad. Pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
What buying involves
Availability of a specific number is not guaranteed, so buying starts with a search rather than an assumption. Use Find a Number to search available 1300/1800 Phonewords — it does not promise that a particular word will be available or available at a particular price. The exact number and price are confirmed with you before anything is connected, and the signup flow then asks for the number the service will connect to.
One practical rule: do not print, publish or advertise a number until its availability and price are confirmed.
What it costs
Published 1300 and 1800 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST, with standard plans month-to-month and no lock-in. The plans differ in included call value and per-minute rates — for example, Cap39 includes 250 Fixed Line minutes plus 100 Mobile minutes. Call rates are per minute, billed per second. Phonewords are priced separately, from $40 per month, depending on the desirability and availability of the word. Current tables are on the pricing page.
Before you buy
- Search first: confirm availability through Find a Number before planning anything around the number.
- Read the terms: standard 1300/1800 plans are month-to-month; premium numbers such as Phonewords carry different commercial terms published on the pricing page.
- Know your answer point: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to, so have that detail ready.
