Phone Number 1300
A 1300 number is a shared-cost Australian business number. See how 1300 plans are priced from $10 per month and what to check before you choose.
A 1300 number is an Australian business number presented as a shared-cost service: customers dial one published number to reach your business, and the call cost is shared between the caller and your business rather than paid entirely by one side. Public 1300 plans start at $10 per month.
Key facts about a 1300 number:
- Shared cost: a 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost business number, unlike an 1800 number where the business carries the call charges.
- Published plans: 1300 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, ex GST, and standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in.
- Plan inclusions: the Cap39 plan includes 250 fixed line minutes plus 100 mobile minutes each month; the Prepaid and Light plans include $5 call credit.
- Phonewords: a 1300 number can also be a Phoneword — a number that spells a word on a telephone keypad — with pricing from $40 per month.
How 1300 and 1800 numbers differ
The dividing line is caller cost. A 1300 number is a shared-cost number. An 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, and the business pays the call charges. If removing the caller charge entirely is the priority, compare the 1800 options; if a shared-cost arrangement suits your callers and budget, 1300 plans start at $10 per month.
What 1300 plans include
Published 1300 plans are $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month. The $39 tier comes in three variants — Cap39, Fixed Cap39 and Mobile Cap39 — with different included minutes. Cap39, for example, includes 250 fixed line minutes and 100 mobile minutes per month. With Cap plans the monthly fee is the only charge until the included value is used, then per-minute rates apply. Call rates are per minute, billed per second, and the current tables are on the pricing page.
Spelling a word on your 1300 number
A 1300 number can carry a Phoneword: a number that spells a word on a telephone keypad, such as a business name. Published Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
