Create a Phone Number for Business

Can you create a phone number for a business?

For a business number, the practical task is to choose an available 1300 number, 1800 number or Phoneword rather than create an arbitrary number. 1300 Easy Dial offers those categories for Australian businesses. A Phoneword can use a 13, 1300 or 1800 number to spell a word on a telephone keypad.

Start by deciding what you want the number category to communicate. A 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost business number. An 1800 number is presented as free for callers in the stated Australian context, while the business pays call charges. A Phoneword is relevant when the word itself is part of the decision.

How to search for a Phoneword

Find a Number lets you search available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords. Use it to test a word idea rather than assuming it is available. The result is not a promise that a word can be held, purchased or offered at a particular price.

Keep a Phoneword decision separate from standard plan pricing. The published Phoneword starting price applies to the category; the current availability and desirability of a word can affect its price.

What this guide cannot confirm

This guide does not establish whether a specific Phoneword will be available, the price of a particular word, or how long any service step will take. It also does not describe routing, recording, reporting or other feature scope. Use the current search result, pricing page and terms for those decisions rather than extending the general category information.
