Number Australia
The Australian business number options published on this site: shared-cost 1300, caller-free 1800 and Phonewords, with plan prices from $10 per month.
Which numbers are on offer for Australian businesses
For an Australian business number, this site publishes three options: a 1300 number, an 1800 number and Phonewords, which use a 13, 1300 or 1800 number to spell a word on the telephone keypad. All three are national inbound numbers, and the choice between them comes down to what the caller pays and whether the number spells a word.
- 1300 number: a shared-cost business number — callers pay a local call rate, the business pays the per-minute rate. Plans start at $10 per month.
- 1800 number: free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges. Plans start at $10 per month.
- Phoneword: a word on the keypad. Pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price, plus a $50 setup subject to number selection and availability, on a 12-month rolling contract.
- Standard plans: month-to-month with no lock-in, at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. All pricing is ex GST.
How an Australian inbound number works
An inbound number is published as the business contact point and the calls are answered on the plan you choose. With a 1300 number the call cost is shared between caller and business; with an 1800 number the caller pays nothing in the stated Australian context. The plan determines the per-minute rates and any included minutes, so the plan table — not the number itself — is where the running cost sits.
The exact call rates and included minutes for each plan are listed on the pricing page. With the Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply, billed per second.
Choosing a number in Australia
If the number needs to spell a word, search available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords with Find a Number. Availability is not promised for any specific word, and the exact number and price are confirmed before you connect. If a standard number suits, the plan choice matters more than the digits.
