Create a Virtual Phone Number
Creating a virtual phone number? See what 1300 Easy Dial actually offers — inbound 1300, 1800 and Phoneword numbers from $10 per month — and what it does not.
What you can create here is an inbound business number, not a virtual-mobile or app-based number: 1300 numbers (shared cost, plans from $10 per month), 1800 numbers (free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context; the business pays call charges) or a Phoneword (a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word on the keypad, from $40 per month). If your definition of "virtual" requires a virtual-mobile or SMS-number service, that is not part of the published range — this page cannot answer that variant.
Creating one, step by step
- Choose the type: 1300 for shared caller cost, 1800 for caller-free in the stated Australian context, a Phoneword if the number should spell a word.
- Check availability: search available 1300/1800 Phonewords. Availability is not guaranteed for any specific word.
- Compare plans: plan fees and call-rate tables are on the pricing page.
- Nominate the answering point: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — where your calls land.
That answering-point step is the closest published equivalent to the "virtual" idea: one stable published number reaching wherever the business actually answers. Anything beyond that — apps, devices, mobile-specific behaviour — is not established by the published pages.

Creating a virtual number — questions
Is this a real virtual number service?
The published products are inbound 1300, 1800 and Phoneword numbers connected to an answering point. "Virtual" is not a product term used by the published pages — judge the published facts instead.
Can I create a number that receives SMS?
Not here. SMS-number services are not part of the published range, so this site cannot answer that query.
What does creating a number cost?
1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word.
Do I need an app or special device?
The published signup flow asks only for the answering point. It does not establish app or device requirements — confirm specifics with the team on 1300 327 934.
How long does creation take?
No activation timeframe is published, because no durable guarantee is available. Ask the team for current timing before committing to a launch date.
