How Do I Get a 1300 Number? Three Answers First

Every "how do I get a 1300 number" search is really three questions wearing one coat: what will it cost, what do I need, and how long does it take. This page answers each from published facts — including the honest one, where the published answer is that no answer is published.

Answer 1: what it costs

Published 1300 plans start at $10 per month, running across $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, each with its own fixed-line and mobile call rates and included value. A 1300 number is shared cost — the caller pays a local call cost and your business pays the remainder — so the rate table, not just the fee, is part of the cost. A word (a Phoneword) adds a component from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the specific figure. The pricing page holds all of it.

Answer 2: what you need

Two things, both yours to decide before the form: the number itself — chosen from the available listing by word or last six digits, shortlisted two or three deep because the market moves — and the answering point, the number the service will connect to, which is the one connection decision the signup flow asks for. The terms and conditions are the third read: before paying, not after.

Answer 3: how long it takes

The honest one: the published pages do not state an activation timeframe, and this page will not invent one. What can be said — the search, the plan comparison and the sign-up form are all immediate; the timing question is one for the team on 1300 327 934 (standard business hours, AEST) at sign-up.

The fourth question nobody asks until it matters

Who answers when something goes wrong? The published contact facts — 1300 327 934, info@1300easydial.com.au, 215 Bunya Road, North Arm QLD 4561, support during standard business hours (AEST) — are part of the getting-a-number decision precisely because the number outlives the purchase. A provider checkable before buying stays checkable after; that is the whole test, and the contact details in the footer are how you run it.

The mechanics, now that the questions are answered

Search the listing, confirm the number during sign-up with your answering point, and publish the one number everywhere customers look. A 1300 number is an inbound business contact point — nothing about getting one requires new hardware or a line change in the published flow.

The three questions, re-asked

What is the cheapest way to get one?

An available plain tail on the $10 per month entry plan. The word component — from $40 per month — only applies if you choose a Phoneword.

Do I need a phone line first?

The signup flow asks for the answering point — the number the service will connect to. The published pages go no further into line requirements, so confirm your setup with the team.

Is activation same-day?

No timeframe is published, so this page cannot say. Ask the team on 1300 327 934 for current timing rather than trusting any estimate.

What if the number I want is taken?

The shortlist exists for this: try the second candidate, a variation, or the same tail on the other prefix. The listing is the market, and confirmation secures whatever survives it.
