Create Phone Number Online

Create a business phone number online: search availability, compare published plans and sign up — 1300, 1800 and Phoneword formats explained.

Creating a business phone number online comes down to three published steps: search what is available, compare the published plans, and sign up. The formats available online are the national inbound ones — 1300, 1800 and Phonewords. Geographic area-code numbers are not part of the offering, and this page does not claim otherwise.

Step 1: search availability

Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords without needing an account. Treat a result as a snapshot: it shows the word is listed at the time of the search, not that it is reserved for you, and not that it carries a particular price. For a standard digit 1300 or 1800 number, the same search and the team at 1300 327 934 can confirm what is on hand.

Step 2: compare the published plans

Published 1300 and 1800 plans sit at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each with its own call-rate table on the pricing page. A Phoneword sits on top of a plan: pricing starts from $40 per month, with the word's desirability and availability affecting the price, and the exact number and price are confirmed before connection. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. All pricing is ex GST.

Step 3: sign up and connect

The sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the line the calls will land on. That is the extent of the published connection detail: the form asks what to connect, and no broader routing or device claims ride on it. Once the number and plan are confirmed, the business publishes the number as its contact point.

What creating online does not include

  • No geographic numbers — the online formats are national inbound 1300, 1800 and Phonewords.
  • No reservation by search — a listed word is not held by searching for it; confirmation happens before connection.
  • No activation timeframe — the published record does not state one, so this page does not promise one.

Creating online: questions

Can I create a number entirely online?

The search, the plan comparison and the sign-up flow all happen online. For Phonewords, the exact number and price are confirmed with you before connection, so a word purchase ends in a confirmation rather than an anonymous checkout.

Which formats can I create online?

1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords on 13, 1300 or 1800 bases. Geographic area-code numbers are not offered.

Does finding a word online reserve it?

No. A search result is a snapshot of what is listed. Availability and the exact price are confirmed before connection.

What information does sign-up ask for?

The sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to, along with the number and plan you have chosen. It does not extend into routing or device setup claims beyond that published scope.

How much should I budget?

Standard 1300/1800 plans start at $10 per month; a Phoneword starts from $40 per month with price varying by word. Current tables are on the pricing page, all ex GST.
