Online Phone Number For Business
What you can do online for a business phone number: search available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords, compare published plans and sign up for the number you pick.
What "online" covers for a business number
An online business phone number, on this site, means a number you can search for and sign up to on the web rather than over the counter. The options are a 1300 number, an 1800 number or a Phoneword, and the online part works in three published ways: the Find a Number search lists available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords, the pricing page publishes the plan fees and call rates, and the signup flow takes your details and the number the service will connect to. The buy Australian number online page covers the buying process in full.
- Search: check which 1300 and 1800 Phonewords are currently listed. Availability is not promised for any specific word.
- Compare: published 1300 and 1800 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month; Phoneword licences start from $40 per month. All pricing is ex GST.
- Sign up: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answer point for your calls.
- Terms: standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in; Phonewords run on a 12-month rolling contract with a $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability.
What it is not
This is not a virtual-mobile or app-based phone service, and this page does not establish SMS, temporary-number or personal-use capabilities. The numbers here are Australian inbound business numbers — 1300, 1800 and Phonewords — answered on the plan you choose. If you have seen the word "virtual" used loosely for anything bought online, buy Australian virtual numbers online sets out exactly what the word does and does not cover here.
It is also worth being clear that searching online does not reserve a number. A word that appears in the search today can be gone tomorrow, so the practical sequence is search, choose a plan, then complete sign-up.
How the online path runs in practice
Start with the search if a word matters to your brand. If a standard number suits, go straight to the plan comparison, because the running cost lives in the plan, not the digits. Either way, the price you will pay is published before you sign up, and the exact number and price for a Phoneword are confirmed before you connect.
If you would rather check something with a person first — the answer point, the plan fit or the terms — the team is reachable through the contact page or on 1300 327 934. For what a dedicated number changes for a business, see a dedicated number for your business.
