Buy Phonewords
Buy a Phoneword for your Australian business: what the licence includes, what pricing starts at, and how to search available 1300 and 1800 words online.
What you are buying
A Phoneword is a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word on the telephone keypad, so a customer can dial your business name instead of digits. Buying a Phoneword through 1300 Easy Dial means subscribing to an available word: the word is licensed monthly and the calls are answered on a published 1300 or 1800 plan. See buy a phone number for how the purchase works end to end.
- The word: a monthly licence on a 13, 1300 or 1800 number, from $40 per month, with the price affected by the desirability and availability of the word.
- The plan: a standard 1300 or 1800 plan from $10 per month that carries the calls.
- The setup: a one-off $50 setup applies to Phonewords, subject to number selection and availability.
- The contract: Phonewords run on a 12-month rolling contract. Standard 1300 and 1800 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in.
- All pricing is ex GST.
What a Phoneword costs
Published Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month. It is not a flat rate: the desirability and availability of the word affect the price, so two words on the same 1300 plan can cost different amounts. The exact number and price are confirmed with you before you connect anything, which is why the search step below comes first.
The licence is separate from the call plan. The plan fee covers receiving the calls, and the published 1300 and 1800 plans range from $10 to $99 per month. Compare both parts on the pricing page before you decide, and review the current terms and conditions for the contractual detail.
How to search and buy
Use Find a Number to search available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords. Type the word you want to spell and the search shows what is currently listed. Availability is not promised for any specific word, and a word that appears today can be gone tomorrow, so search before you build marketing around an idea.
Once you find a word that suits, the next steps are choosing the plan that matches your expected call volume and completing sign-up. More background on the options is on the Phonewords page.
What to weigh before you buy
A Phoneword is the premium option in the range, so it is worth checking the trade-offs against your budget. The licence runs on a 12-month rolling contract, unlike standard plans, which are month-to-month. The word itself only pays off if customers hear it, see it and repeat it, so consider where the number will actually appear: signage, vehicles and advertising.
If a word is out of budget, a standard 1300 or 1800 number from $10 per month still gives your business a dedicated inbound number, and you can compare the caller-cost difference on the 1300 numbers and 1800 numbers pages.
