Where to Get a Landline Phone Number — and What This Site Offers

The direct answer: a landline phone number — the geographic, area-code kind attached to a physical line — comes from a telephone carrier, and this site does not sell them. What 1300 Easy Dial publishes is the inbound family — 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords — which is a different product for a different layer. Where to get each, and how they join, is the whole page.

Getting a landline number: the carrier path

A landline number is bundled with a fixed-line service, so the seller is a carrier: choose a plan, choose the region, receive the number attached to the line. What this site can honestly say about that path is only what any page can — the number will be geographic, tied to the line, and it will move when the service does. The specifics — pricing, availability, hardware — are the carrier's to publish, and you should read them there.

The question to ask before choosing either seller

One question sorts most buyers: does the number need to say where you are, or what you are? A landline number says where — the area code is geography by design. An inbound number says what — 1300 or 1800 marks it as a business contact point with a caller arrangement you chose. Neither answer is wrong; buying from the wrong seller for your answer is the only mistake available. Decide the sentence first — "our number says where" or "our number says what" — and the right shop follows.

Getting an inbound number: the path this site publishes

The number: a 1300 (shared cost — caller pays a local call cost, business pays the remainder) or 1800 (caller-free in the stated Australian 1800-number context; business pays the call charges), chosen from the available listing.
The identity: digits, or a word on the keypad from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price.
The plan: from $10 per month, with the rate tables on the pricing page.
The join: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answering point — which is how an inbound number rides on whatever line or phone you already answer.

Do you need both?

Maybe — that is a business decision the published pages cannot make. If the business needs a physical line, that is the carrier's sale. If it needs a published contact point that outlives lines, handsets and offices, that is this one. Many businesses run both: the carrier's line answers behind the scenes, the inbound number is what gets published. The two-layer join above is the published mechanism that lets them coexist without either seller touching the other's product.

Landline questions

Can I buy a landline number from this site?

No — geographic landline numbers are not part of the published range. The inbound family (1300, 1800, Phonewords) is what is sold here.

Which seller should I call first?

Depends what you are buying: a line, call a carrier; a published contact point, start with the search above. The two purchases do not depend on each other.

Can an inbound number replace my landline?

The published products cover the contact point, not the line. Whether the line stays is your arrangement — the pages describe the answering-point join and nothing beyond it.

If I get both, which number do I publish?

That is the point of the inbound layer: publish the number you chose, let the carrier's line be the answering point behind it. What customers see is your decision; what they dial should be one number.
