Cheap 1300 Numbers Value
What a cheap 1300 number includes for the fee: shared-cost calling, published plan value from $10 per month ex GST, and how to judge the fit for your business.
Value, stated without a sales line: for the published fee — from $10 per month ex GST — a 1300 number gives your business one state-neutral contact point, a shared-cost arrangement where callers pay a local call rate, and a plan row whose included minutes or call credit set how much calling the fee covers. Whether that is good value for your business depends on your call mix, so this page sets out how to judge it rather than promising a return.
What the fee actually buys
- One national contact point: a 1300 number is not tied to an area code, so signage, vehicles and listings stay constant as the business moves or grows.
- The shared-cost arrangement: callers pay a local call rate, which keeps the barrier to calling low without the business carrying the entire caller cost.
- Included value on the row: from the $10 Prepaid row with $5 call credit to the $79 Cap79 row with 750 Fixed Line mins + 300 Mobile mins.
- Terms that match the word cheap: standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in, so the row follows the call pattern rather than locking it in.
How to judge the value for your business
Three checks, all doable on the published tables. First, volume: where your monthly calls sit against the included minutes or credit on each row. Second, mix: mobile minutes are rated higher than fixed-line minutes on every row, so a mobile-heavy caller base changes the maths. Third, trajectory: a growing pattern may justify a higher fee with lower rates. This page does not calculate a bill or promise savings — the honest baseline is a month on the right row, measured.
Where value ends and marketing starts
A memorable or word-based number is a different purchase: Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the word, and any recall benefit is a branding judgement this page cannot promise. The plan value above is what the fee buys; the word is a separate line for a separate purpose.

Value questions
Is a $10 per month 1300 number good value?
It is the published floor: 1300 Prepaid at $10 per month, 12c/min to fixed lines, 32c/min to mobiles, $5 call credit, prepaid only. Whether it fits depends on call volume — light callers lose little on the higher rates, and heavier callers have better-fitting rows.
What does a higher-fee row add?
Lower per-minute rates and included value: Cap39 at $39 carries 250 Fixed Line mins + 100 Mobile mins, and Cap79 at $79 carries 750 + 300.
Does a 1300 number increase sales?
No claim like that is made here. The published facts are the caller-cost arrangement and the plan value; outcomes depend on the business.
Is a word number better value?
It is a different purchase — a branding line from $40 per month on top of the plan. This page does not weigh recall benefits; the word's price is confirmed for the specific word before connection.
