Create Phone Number Providers
What one business number provider publishes: 1300, 1800 and Phoneword numbers, plans from $10 per month, and the contract terms. No comparison is made.
If you are weighing up business number providers, the useful comparison is between published terms, not slogans. This page sets out what 1300 Easy Dial publishes — the products, the plan prices, the add-ons and the contract terms — and states plainly that it makes no comparison: no claim here says this offering is better, bigger or cheaper than any other provider's. Read the list, then hold it against anyone else's published terms on the same points.
The published offering
- 1300 numbers: shared-cost business numbers — callers pay a local call rate on 1300, and the business pays the per-minute rate. Published plans start at $10 per month.
- 1800 numbers: free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges. Published plans also start at $10 per month.
- Phonewords: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word on the telephone keypad. Word pricing starts from $40 per month, with the availability and desirability of the word affecting the price. Availability can be checked on Find a Number.
- Add-ons: Call Tracking Numbers ($5 per month), IVR Keypress Menu ($35 per month) and Postcode Prompter ($250 per month), each at its published purpose.
Contracts, setup and pricing terms
These are the terms a provider comparison turns on, so they are stated directly. Standard 1300 and 1800 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Premium numbers — Phonewords and Smart numbers, from $40 per month — run on a 12-month rolling contract with a $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability. All pricing is ex GST, call rates are per minute billed per second, and the full plan tables ($10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month) are on the pricing page. Service terms sit in the terms and conditions.
What this page does not do
It does not rank providers, quote market share, or assert uptime and service levels — none of that is in the published record, and "largest" or "leader" style claims are absent by design. It also does not calculate a total cost of ownership for you: per-minute rates differ by plan, so the honest method is to take your own expected call pattern to the published rate tables and read the answer off them. A provider decision made from published numbers survives scrutiny; one made from adjectives does not.
For the process of choosing and connecting a number itself, the create a phone number pillar covers the flow.

Provider questions
Is this page comparing providers?
No. It publishes one provider's offering — products, prices, add-ons and contract terms — with an explicit no-comparison disclosure. The comparison work is yours to do against other providers' published terms.
Are the plans locked in?
Standard 1300 and 1800 plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Premium numbers such as Phonewords, from $40 per month, carry a 12-month rolling contract and a $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability.
What should I compare between providers?
The published facts: plan fees and included value, per-minute rates and billing basis, contract terms and setup charges, and how availability of a specific number is confirmed. All of these are stated on the pricing page here.
Do the published prices include GST?
No — all published pricing is ex GST.
