The Cost of Creating a Phone Number
What creating a phone number costs on the published record — word numbers from $40 per month, standard plans from $10, and the confirmation that sets the price.
The cost of creating a phone number has a published shape: the word format starts from $40 per month, standard digit plans start at $10 per month, and the specific word's price is set by the published desirability rule and confirmed with the team. No per-word price list is published in advance — so this page explains the model rather than inventing numbers. The live tables are on the pricing page.
The two cost lines
- The word (if you create one): Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word. A category word that many businesses would want is priced differently from an unremarkable digit string — the rule is published; the amounts are confirmed per word.
- The plan underneath: published 1300 and 1800 plans sit at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each with its own call-rate table — fixed line and mobile rates differ per plan, and Cap plans list included minute allowances.
How the word price is actually settled
The published process is confirmation at connection: search the word on Find a Number to see whether it is listed, and the team confirms the exact number and its price before connection. A search result is a snapshot — it shows what is listed, not what it will cost or whether it will still be listed later. Treating the confirmation step as the price setter is the honest reading of the published model.
Reading the cost without surprises
- No hidden lines in the published model: the word price and the plan are the published components; add-ons — Call Tracking ($5/month), IVR Keypress Menu ($35/month), Postcode Prompter ($250/month) — are listed separately at published purposes.
- No "from" trap: because the word price is confirmed before connection, the starting point is never the final answer — ask, and the team quotes the specific word.
- No cost-based promises: nothing published claims a created number pays for itself; the benefit is the word, priced under the published rule.

Create-a-number cost questions
What is the starting cost of a created number?
Word numbers start from $40 per month; standard digit plans start at $10 per month. The specific word's price follows the desirability rule and is confirmed with the team.
Why is there no per-word price list?
The published model prices words by desirability and availability, confirmed at connection. Publishing amounts in advance would promise what the rule does not.
Are there other fees besides the plan and the word?
The published components are the plan and, for words, the confirmed word price. The three call-handling add-ons are listed separately on the pricing page.
Does a cheaper word exist?
Standard digits are the published cheap path — plans from $10 per month. Among words, pricing varies by desirability; the confirmed quote at connection is the comparison point.
