Create a Business Phone Number
Create a business phone number in Australia — search available 1300/1800 Phonewords, choose a published plan from $10 per month and connect it at signup.
You create a business phone number with 1300 Easy Dial by choosing one of the published number types, checking what is available, and completing the signup. There is no separate application stage to invent — the published flow is search, choose, sign up.
The steps in order:
- Pick the number type. A 1300 number is the shared-cost option; an 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian context with the business paying call charges; a Phoneword spells a word on a 13, 1300 or 1800 number.
- Check availability. Use Find a Number to search available 1300/1800 Phonewords. Availability is not guaranteed for a specific word.
- Choose a plan. Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
- Complete the signup. The flow asks for the number the service will connect to — your answering point.
- Get set up. The team helps you get the number ready; reach them on 1300 327 934 or info@1300easydial.com.au.
Decisions to make before you start
- Caller cost: shared between caller and business (1300) or carried entirely by the business so callers call free in the Australian context (1800).
- Format: plain digits, or a Phoneword that spells a brand or service word on the keypad.
- Budget: the published plan ladder runs from $10 per month, and each plan pairs its fee with a call-rate table — see the pricing page for the current tables in Australian dollars including GST.

The pricing page also lists three add-on services — Call Tracking Numbers ($5 per month), an IVR Keypress Menu ($35 per month) and a Postcode Prompter ($250 per month) — published as services that help manage and analyse incoming calls. Check the pricing page for the current list before finalising a plan.
What cannot be promised up front
Two things are deliberately left open on this page. Availability is not guaranteed: the search shows what is listed as available now, and a specific word's price is confirmed through the signup and team process rather than assumed. And this page does not publish a setup timeframe, because no durable timeframe is established in the published material — if timing matters, ask the team directly when you enquire.

Not every word is available. Search available 1300/1800 Phonewords to see current listings, and treat a specific word's availability and price as something to confirm, since desirability affects Phoneword pricing.
