Choosing a Phone Number — What You Can Pick Here

Choosing a mobile or cell number is not something this site publishes. What you can choose is a business inbound number — the digits or a word. Here is how.

Here is the honest answer first: choosing a mobile or cell phone number is not something 1300 Easy Dial publishes — there is no mobile-number selection service on this site. What you can choose is a business inbound number: the digits, or a word spelled on the keypad, from the available 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords, on public plans starting at $10 per month.

Why the two choices get mixed up

People search "choose your cell phone number" for two different goals. One is personal: a handset number with digits you like. This site cannot help with that — mobile-number selection is not part of the published product range.

The other is business: a number you choose that customers dial, answered wherever you are — often on the same mobile you already carry. That goal is what the published products serve: the number is yours to choose, and the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answering point your calls reach.

What you can actually choose

  • The digits or word: search available 1300/1800 Phonewords by word or by the last six digits. Availability is not guaranteed for a specific number until it is confirmed.
  • The caller cost: shared cost on a 1300 number, or caller-free in the stated Australian 1800-number context on an 1800 number.
  • The plan: published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price.

What a chosen business number changes day to day

Once connected, the number is the published contact point: customers dial it from your website, signage or advertising, and the calls reach the answering point you nominated at sign-up. Nothing else about your phones needs to change for the published facts to hold — which is the practical appeal over a personal handset number that moves with staff and devices. What the published pages do not describe is day-to-day call management inside the service; the published add-ons (Call Tracking Numbers, an IVR Keypress Menu and a Postcode Prompter, all listed on the pricing page) are the documented call-management options.

What stays out of scope

To keep the boundary plain: no virtual-mobile numbers, no SMS-capable numbers, no personal handset numbers. The published products are inbound business numbers, and this page does not claim device behaviour beyond the answering-point step at sign-up. If your goal needs a mobile-specific service, a mobile carrier is the right place to ask.

Choosing a number: questions

Can I choose a custom mobile number here?

No. Mobile-number selection is not part of the published product range. The published choice is an inbound business number — 1300, 1800 or a Phoneword.

Can my business number ring on my mobile?

The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answering point your calls reach. The published pages do not go further into device specifics, so confirm your answering point with the team at sign-up.

What can I customise about the number?

The digits or the word, chosen from what is available; the caller cost, by number type; and the plan. The search tool and the pricing page are the sources for both.

How much does a chosen number cost?

Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month. Phonewords start from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of the word you want.
