Do 1300 Numbers Cost?
Yes — published 1300 numbers start at $10 per month plus per-minute call rates. See the current plan table and what changes the total a business pays.
Yes — 1300 numbers cost money, and the published answer has two parts: a monthly plan fee and per-minute call rates. On 1300 Easy Dial's public plans, the monthly fee starts at $10, and a 1300 number is a shared-cost arrangement — the caller pays a local call cost and the business pays the remainder. The table below reproduces the current published 1300 plans; the live pricing page always governs.
Published 1300 plan rates
| Plan | Monthly fee | Fixed line rate | Mobile rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1300 Prepaid | $10 | 12c per minute | 32c per minute |
| 1300 Light | $15 | 12c per minute | 32c per minute |
| 1300 Cap39 | $39 | 10c per minute | 30c per minute |
| 1300 Fixed Cap39 | $39 | 15c per minute | 35c per minute |
| 1300 Mobile Cap39 | $39 | 12c per minute | 30c per minute |
| 1300 Cap79 | $79 | 7c per minute | 25c per minute |
| 1300 High Volume | $99 | 5c per minute | 16c per minute |
Call rates are published per minute, calculated on a per-second basis. The Prepaid and Light plans list $5 call credit; the Cap plans list included minute allowances (for example, 250 fixed line minutes plus 100 mobile minutes on Cap39); the High Volume plan lists $99 call credit. Check each plan row on the pricing page for its current inclusions.
What changes the total you pay
- Which plan you pick: the monthly fee is fixed, but each plan carries a different rate table and inclusion set.
- Where callers call from: fixed line and mobile rates differ on every plan, so the device mix of your callers matters.
- How much they call: on Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply.
Do not treat the monthly fee as a complete bill forecast — the call-rate table is part of the cost. This page reproduces published figures without calculating examples; work from the live plan rows for a purchase decision.
Where 1300 costs fit with other numbers
An 1800 number shifts the whole call cost to the business — callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context — and its published plans also start at $10 per month. A Phoneword is priced separately, from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word. If you are comparing the two inbound types, the cost of a 1300 phone number page and the 1300 numbers overview give the fuller picture.
1300 number cost questions
Do 1300 numbers cost the caller money?
Yes. A 1300 number is shared cost: the caller pays a local call cost and the business pays the remainder. That is the published distinction from an 1800 number, where the caller pays nothing.
What is the cheapest published 1300 plan?
The 1300 Prepaid plan at $10 per month, which lists $5 call credit and rates of 12c per minute to fixed lines and 32c per minute to mobiles. Confirm on the current pricing page.
Are call charges on top of the monthly fee?
Each plan publishes a monthly fee plus its own call-rate table. On Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply.
Where can I verify these rates?
On the live pricing page, which lists every published plan, rate and inclusion. Plan details can change, so use it rather than this or any older summary.
