Your Own Business Phone Number
Having a phone number of your own means a published contact point your business controls. See how to choose one here — digits, word, plan and answering point.
A phone number of your own, for business purposes, is a published contact point your business controls: customers dial it, it appears wherever you advertise, and it is not somebody's personal handset. What 1300 Easy Dial publishes for that purpose is a choice of inbound numbers — 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords — on public plans starting at $10 per month.
What "your own" means here
- A contact point you publish: one number for the website, signage, quotes and invoices, distinct from any personal line.
- Digits or a word you choose: you select from available numbers — search available 1300/1800 Phonewords by word or last six digits. Availability is not guaranteed for a specific number.
- A plan you compare: published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month; Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price.
- An answering point you nominate: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the phone your calls reach.
Choosing the right type
A 1300 number shares the call cost between caller and business. An 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying the call charges. A Phoneword spends more per month — from $40 — on memorability: the number spells a word on the keypad, like 1300 327 934 spells 1300 EASY DIAL.
The honest comparison is between the published costs and the job the number does; no option on this page comes with a promise of more calls.
Where your number works hardest
A number of your own only earns its keep if customers can find it, so publish it consistently: the website, quoted documents, invoices, signage and any advertising, all showing the same digits or word. Mixed or missing numbers create the exact confusion a dedicated business number is meant to remove. This is plain operational advice rather than a product claim — but it is the difference between owning a contact point and merely renting a plan.
One caution about ownership
The rights you hold in a number — licence terms, billing and cancellation — are governed by the service terms, not by a marketing page. The terms and conditions set out those obligations, and you should read them before purchasing. This page deliberately does not paraphrase them.
Getting set up
Search the available numbers, compare plans on the pricing page, then complete sign-up with your answering point ready. The team is reachable on 1300 327 934 during standard business hours (AEST) if you want help choosing. For a walkthrough of the choice, see create your own business phone number.
Own number questions
Do I own the number if I sign up?
What you hold is governed by the published terms and conditions, which cover licence, billing and cancellation obligations. This page does not paraphrase them — read the terms before purchasing.
Can I pick the exact digits I want?
You pick from what is available. Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords by word or by the last six digits, and a specific number is not guaranteed until it is confirmed.
Is my own number separate from my mobile?
The published number is a business contact point distinct from a personal line, and the signup flow asks for the answering point calls should reach. The pages do not publish device-specific behaviour beyond that step.
What will it cost per month?
Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month, and Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price. The pricing page holds the current plan fees and call rates.
