Get Business Number Australia

Get a business number in Australia: compare 1300, 1800 and Phoneword options, check availability and sign up online with plans from $10 per month.

Business owner taking a customer call on a mobile phone

To get a business number in Australia through 1300 Easy Dial, you choose one of the three published products — a 1300 number, an 1800 number or a Phoneword — search what is available, compare the published plans and sign up online. Plans start at $10 per month, ex GST, and the sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to.

The steps, costs and limits are set out below.

The three published number types

1300

Shared cost

Callers pay a local call rate and the business pays the per-minute rate. Plans start at $10 per month.

1300 numbers

1800

Free for callers

Free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges.

1800 numbers

Phoneword

A word on the keypad

A 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word. From $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.

Phonewords

What it costs

Published 1300 and 1800 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST, and standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Phonewords are premium numbers priced from $40 per month; their terms differ from the standard plans, and the pricing page sets out the detail.

Call rates and the included minutes or call credit for each plan are published on the same page. Read the current tables rather than working from an estimate or an old advertisement.

How you get the number

  • Search availability: Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords. A search result is not a reservation — the exact number and price are confirmed before you connect.
  • Compare plans: check the published monthly fees, call rates and inclusions on the pricing page.
  • Sign up: the flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the phone that will receive the calls.

No activation timeframe is published on this site, so none can be quoted here. If timing matters for a launch or campaign, confirm it with the team on 1300 327 934 before you commit to artwork or signage.

Getting a business number in Australia: questions

How much does a business number cost in Australia?

Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month, ex GST, month-to-month with no lock-in. Phonewords start from $40 per month with different terms. Current fees and call rates are on the pricing page.

Can I choose the number itself?

For a Phoneword you can search available words with Find a Number. It does not promise that a particular word is available or available at a particular price — that is confirmed before you connect.

Do I need a new phone line?

The sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the phone that will receive the calls. Nothing on this page establishes hardware, device or network requirements beyond that published step.

How long does it take to get connected?

No activation timeframe is published on this site, so none can be quoted here. Confirm timing with the team when you sign up.

Where do I compare the details before deciding?

The Get Business Number pillar covers the category, and the pricing page lists current plans. For a checklist walkthrough see Get Business Number Guide, or use Get Business Number Online for the sign-up flow.
