Need a Phone Number for Your Business
Need a phone number for your business? Compare the 1300, 1800 and Phoneword options 1300 Easy Dial publishes, with plans from $10 per month.
If you need a phone number for your business, the options 1300 Easy Dial publishes are 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). Which one fits depends on who pays for the call and how memorable the number needs to be.
Choosing the number you need
- Customers should share the call cost: a 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost business number, with public plans starting at $10 per month.
- Customers should call free: an 1800 number removes the caller charge in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying call charges.
- The number should spell a word: a Phoneword turns the last six digits or a chosen word into keypad letters. Pricing starts from $40 per month and varies with availability and desirability.
- You already have an answering point: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to, so your existing line or answering setup stays where calls land.
