Get a 1800 Number
The published path to get an 1800 number — free calls for customers, plans from $10 per month, and the three things to settle before you apply.
To get an 1800 number, three things need settling: the number, the plan, and the answer point. The arrangement itself is fixed by the range — callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context, and the business carries the call charges under its plan. Published 1800 plans start at $10 per month; the buy an 1800 phone number pillar covers the purchase side in full.
Settle these three, then apply
- The number: search word candidates on Find a Number — up to six letters fit after the 1800 prefix — or arrange a standard numeric number with the team. A search result is a snapshot; the team confirms the exact number and price before connection.
- The plan: published rows run $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month with different fixed-line and mobile rates and, on Cap plans, included minute allowances. Compare rows on the pricing page — three rows share a $39 fee with different tables.
- The answer point: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to. That recorded destination receives your calls.
What getting an 1800 number involves once applied
The team confirms the exact number and price — word pricing starts from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the specific word — before the service is connected. No activation timeframe is published; connection specifics are confirmed during the application. Billing and cancellation obligations sit in the terms and conditions, and the published add-ons (Call Tracking Numbers $5/month, IVR Keypress Menu $35/month, Postcode Prompter $250/month) are optional extras.
What you will not be getting
Stated plainly: no geographic or mobile numbers — not published products — and no promise of more calls or sales from having the number. The free-for-callers arrangement is the published benefit; this page leaves outcome claims to nobody.
