A Name for a Telephone Number
Want your business name spelled in your phone number? That is a Phoneword — a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word, from $40 per month. Here is how.
If you want your business name inside your phone number, the published product for that is a Phoneword: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number whose digits spell a word on the telephone keypad. Search available 1300/1800 Phonewords to see what exists — availability is not guaranteed for any specific word, and pricing starts from $40 per month with desirability affecting the price.
How a name becomes a number
- Letters map to digits: each letter of your business name corresponds to a key on the telephone keypad, so the word becomes a diallable sequence.
- The base number sets caller cost: a 1300 base is a shared-cost number; an 1800 base is free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying call charges.
- Availability decides the rest: you can only use a word that is actually available, and desirable words cost more. Search rather than assume.
Choosing the word
The strongest candidates are words customers already connect with the business — the trading name, the service, or a short memorable phrase. Long or awkward letter combinations are harder to communicate in ads and by word of mouth, and the published pages make no promise that a Phoneword increases calls or sales. If your exact name is not available, a close variant is the usual fallback.
Compare the plan behind the word on the pricing page, where 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month and Phonewords start from $40 per month. For background, see Phonewords and 1300 phone words.
Name-for-number questions
Can I get my exact business name as a number?
Only if a matching Phoneword is available. Search Find a Number — availability is not guaranteed for any specific word, and desirability affects the price.
How much does a word number cost?
Phonewords start from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word. The underlying plan's call rates are on the pricing page.
Can a name number still be free for callers?
Yes — a Phoneword can be built on an 1800 base, which is free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context. The business pays the call charges.
What if my name is taken?
The published pages do not describe acquiring a taken number. The practical path is searching for an available variant on Find a Number, or contacting the team on 1300 327 934.
