How to Get a 1300 Number in Australia

Getting a 1300 number in Australia through 1300 Easy Dial comes down to five steps: decide the caller arrangement you want, search what is available, choose a plan, complete sign-up with your answering point, and confirm the details. A 1300 number is a shared-cost business number — the caller pays a local call cost and the business pays the remainder — with public plans starting at $10 per month.

Each step below uses only what the published pages establish, so you can follow along without guessing at availability, prices or timing.

Step 1: Decide what the number should do

Start with the caller experience. On a 1300 number the cost is shared between the caller and your business. If you would rather remove the caller charge entirely, an 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges — published 1800 plans also start at $10 per month.

If the number itself should spell a word on the keypad, that is a Phoneword, which can sit on a 13, 1300 or 1800 base. Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word.

Step 2: Search what is actually available

Use Find a Number to search available 1300/1800 Phonewords. The search works on the last six digits — you do not need to include the 1300 or 1800 prefix — and you can type a word or digits. Availability is not guaranteed for any specific number, so treat the search results as the current listing rather than a promise.

Step 3: Choose a plan

Published 1300 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each with its own call-rate table and included value. The pricing page holds the current fees and per-minute rates — check it rather than working from a summary, because the plan you choose sets both the monthly fee and the call rates.

Step 4: Complete sign-up with your answering point

The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answering point your calls reach. Have that ready before you start. If anything is unclear, the team is reachable on 1300 327 934 or by email at info@1300easydial.com.au during standard business hours (AEST).

Step 5: Check the terms before you commit

Service terms, billing and cancellation obligations are published on the terms and conditions page. Read them before purchasing — they govern, not a summary on a marketing page.

Getting a 1300 number: questions

How long does it take to activate a 1300 number?

The published pages do not state an activation timeframe, so this page will not invent one. Ask the team on 1300 327 934 when you sign up and they can confirm the current timing for your number.

How much does a 1300 number cost?

Public 1300 plans start at $10 per month. The published plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month with different call rates and included value — the pricing page holds the current tables.

Can I choose the digits or spell a word?

Yes — that is what the Find a Number search is for. It lists available 1300/1800 Phonewords, searched by the last six digits or by word. A specific number is not guaranteed until it is confirmed.

What is a Phoneword?

A Phoneword is a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word using the letters on the telephone keypad — 2 is ABC, 3 is DEF, and so on. For example, 1300 327 934 spells 1300 EASY DIAL. Pricing starts from $40 per month.

Do callers pay to dial a 1300 number?

Yes, a local call cost — that is what makes it shared cost. The business pays the remainder. If you want callers to pay nothing, compare the 1800 number plans instead.
