My Own Phone Number
Getting your own dedicated business number — a 1300, 1800 or Phoneword that answers on the phone you choose — and what it costs from $10 per month.
What "your own number" means here
A number of your own, in the sense this site supports, is a dedicated inbound business number: a 1300, an 1800 or a Phoneword that is yours to publish, answered on the phone you connect it to. It is separate from your personal handset number, stays fixed wherever you work, and carries whatever branding you choose — digits, or a word.
The scope line matters: these are business numbers. A personal or residential line for private use is not what the published products cover, and this page will not pretend otherwise.
Why a dedicated number is worth having
Three practical separations come with it. Your personal number stops being a business contact — customers dial the published number instead. Your published contact point survives phone and location changes, because the number lives with the carrier and rings on whatever phone you nominated at sign-up. And the number can work as a brand asset if you choose a word that spells your business on the keypad.
- Caller cost: 1300 shares the cost with callers; 1800 costs Australian callers nothing in the stated Australian context.
- Plans: published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords from $40 per month.
- Connection: the sign-up flow asks for the number the service will connect to.
Choosing and claiming yours
Availability decides what you can claim, so search before you settle. Find a Number covers the available 1300/1800 Phoneword pool — a specific word is not guaranteed until confirmed through sign-up. Compare the plan tables on the pricing page, then sign up with your chosen number and the phone it should ring on.
If the word or digits you want are unavailable, the team on 1300 327 934 can help you work through close alternatives.
Own-number questions
Can I get a personal number for private use?
No — the published products are inbound business numbers. Personal or residential lines are outside what this site establishes.
Can I choose exactly which number I get?
You choose from what is available. The Find a Number search covers 1300/1800 Phonewords; final availability is confirmed through sign-up.
Does my own number replace my mobile?
No — it complements it. Customers dial the published number; your mobile can be the phone it rings on, nominated at sign-up.
What does it cost to have my own number?
Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords from $40 per month, priced on desirability and availability. Call rates depend on the plan.
Is the number mine permanently?
Tenure, billing and cancellation are governed by the terms and conditions — read them rather than relying on any summary here.
