Phone Number for Phone: Business Number Basics
How a 1300 or 1800 business number connects to the phone you already use, what published plans cost, and what the signup flow asks you to provide.
When people search for a "phone number for phone", they usually want a number that rings on the phone they already use. For Australian businesses, that is what a 1300 or 1800 number provides: a published business contact point, with the signup flow asking for the number the service will connect to — your existing answer point.
1300 Easy Dial offers three categories for Australian businesses: 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords. This page explains how the number reaches your phone, what the published plans cost, and which details stay unconfirmed until you speak with the team.
What you get with each category
- 1300 number: a shared-cost business number. Public plans start at $10 per month.
- 1800 number: free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying call charges. Public plans start at $10 per month.
- Phoneword: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word on the telephone keypad. Published pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
How the number reaches your phone
The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to. Calls then arrive at that answer point — the same principle for a single-site shop or a trade business on the road. What this page does not document is any particular device, app or forwarding arrangement; the team confirms connection specifics for your setup when you enquire.
What it costs
Published 1300 and 1800 plans run at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, so the entry point is $10 per month. Standard plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. All pricing is ex GST. The pricing page lists the current monthly fees, included values and per-minute call rates — it is the source for rates rather than any estimate here.
What this page does not establish
It does not establish compatibility with a specific handset, routing or feature inclusions, or activation timeframes. It also does not promise that a particular number is available. You can check word availability yourself with Find a Number, which searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords without promising a specific result.
