Fixed Line Phone Number
Two meanings of "fixed line phone number" — the geographic landline this site does not sell, and the fixed-line call rates its published plan tables do distinguish.
"Fixed line phone number" carries two different meanings, and separating them answers the query honestly. Meaning one: a geographic landline number tied to premises — that is not a published product on this site. Meaning two: the fixed-line call rates in the published plan tables — the per-minute column that applies when calls come in over fixed-line networks, distinct from mobile rates. The first meaning is out of scope; the second is simply part of every plan row here.
Where fixed-line rates appear
Every published 1300 and 1800 row lists two per-minute rates — one for fixed-line callers, one for mobile callers. For example, the 1300 Cap39 row publishes 10c/min fixed line and 30c/min mobile, and the 1800 Cap39 row publishes 10c/min and 30c/min on the same split. The full tables, quoted per row, sit on the pricing page; rates are per minute, calculated on a per-second basis.
Why the number itself is not "fixed line"
1300 and 1800 numbers are state-neutral with no area code — they are not tied to premises, exchange or geography. Calls arrive at the answer point recorded at signup, wherever that is. So the product here is the opposite of a fixed line in the geographic sense, even though its rate tables distinguish fixed-line callers. Nothing on this page claims coverage, line rental or hardware.

Fixed-line questions
Can I buy a geographic fixed-line number here?
No. Geographic area-code landline numbers are not published products; the published ranges are 1300, 1800 and Phonewords.
Why do the plan tables mention fixed line?
As a rate column: the per-minute charge that applies to callers on fixed-line networks, distinct from the mobile rate in the same row.
Do fixed-line callers cost the business less?
On the published tables, fixed-line rates are lower than mobile rates in every row — but what that means for a specific bill is not calculated on this page.
Does the number need a physical line installed?
Nothing published ties the number to premises or a line installation. Calls arrive at the answer point recorded at signup.
