Make a Business Phone Number
Making a business phone number means choosing 1300, 1800 or a Phoneword, checking availability and connecting it to your answering point. Plans from $10 per month.
To make a business phone number here, you choose one of the published inbound products and connect it to your answering point: a 1300 number (shared cost, plans from $10 per month), an 1800 number (free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context; the business pays call charges) or a Phoneword — a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word on the keypad, from $40 per month. You do not assemble the digits yourself; you choose from what is available.
How to make one
- Decide the caller-cost model: shared cost points to 1300; caller-free in the stated Australian context points to 1800.
- Decide whether it spells a word: if yes, search available 1300/1800 Phonewords. Availability is not guaranteed for any specific word.
- Compare plans: plan fees and per-minute call-rate tables are on the pricing page. Phonewords start from $40 per month with desirability affecting the price.
- Connect it: the signup flow asks for the answering point — the number the service will connect to.
- Read the terms: the terms and conditions govern the service.
What "making" a number does not include
No activation timeframe, porting procedure or hardware requirement is published, so none are promised here. And while a memorable number is easier to communicate, the published pages make no promise of more calls or sales for any number type. If any unpublished detail matters to your launch, ask the team on 1300 327 934. Related reading: create a phone number, 13 phone number or the 1300 numbers hub.

How long until my number is live?
