Phone Words for Business
How a Phoneword works for business — a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word, priced from $40 per month on top of a standard plan from $10 per month.
A Phoneword gives a business a 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word on the telephone keypad — the business name, the trade or the service sitting where ten arbitrary digits would be. That is the whole published mechanic, and it comes with published numbers attached: the word starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word, and it sits on a standard plan from $10 per month. What no page here can promise is what the word does for your calls or sales — that claim does not exist in the record, and this page keeps both halves visible.
What a business actually gets
- A readable number: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number carrying a word, so the contact details themselves can say the business name or service instead of digits.
- A caller-cost choice: on a 1300 the cost is shared — callers pay a local rate and the business pays the per-minute rate; on an 1800 callers pay nothing in the stated Australian 1800-number context, and the business pays the call charges.
- One published contact point: a single national number for the website, quotes, signage and advertising, connected to the answering point nominated at signup.
- Published add-ons: Call Tracking Numbers $5, IVR Keypress Menu $35 and Postcode Prompter $250 per month, each at its stated purpose.
What it costs a business
Three published figures cover the word: it starts from $40 per month, availability and desirability affect the price of the specific word you want, and the exact number and price are confirmed with you before anything is connected. A premium number runs on a 12-month rolling contract with a $50 setup, subject to number selection and availability. Beneath the word sits a standard 1300 or 1800 plan from $10 per month, month-to-month with no lock-in — the current fees, inclusions and call rates are all on the pricing page, and all pricing is ex GST. This page does not combine the figures into a predicted bill; the published tables are there to be read directly.
How a business gets one
Search available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords on Find a Number. The search shows words that currently appear available; it does not guarantee a specific word or price. Shortlist, have the exact number and price confirmed, choose the plan, and nominate the answering point the number connects to during signup. Add-ons can be selected at sign-up or changed later from the online console.
What this page does not claim
Stated plainly: nothing here establishes that a Phoneword lifts calls, sales, recall or conversion for a business — no uplift figure exists in the published record, and this page does not manufacture one. Nor does availability follow from wanting a word: a word is yours when the search shows it and the confirmation step locks it. The decision tool is the published pricing, not a promise. For the broader context, the Phone Words guide and the Phonewords page cover the category and the keypad mechanic.

Phone words for business questions
What exactly is a Phoneword?
A 13, 1300 or 1800 number that spells a word on the telephone keypad — for example a number that reads as your business name. The word replaces the digits people would otherwise have to remember; nothing else about the call mechanics changes on the published record.
How much does a Phoneword cost a business?
The word starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of the specific word, plus a $50 setup on a 12-month rolling contract — subject to number selection and availability. It sits on a standard plan from $10 per month, and all pricing is ex GST. Current tables are on the pricing page.
Should the word sit on a 1300 or an 1800 number?
That is the caller-cost decision. A 1300 shares the cost — callers pay a local rate, the business pays the per-minute rate. An 1800 is free for callers in the stated Australian context, and the business pays the call charges. Both carry words, and both have published plans from $10 per month.
Will a Phoneword get me more calls?
That is not established here. No published source quantifies an uplift in calls, sales or recall from a Phoneword, so this page makes no such claim. What is established is what the number is, what it costs and how to search one.
How do I check if my word is available?
Search it on Find a Number. Results show words that currently appear available among 1300 and 1800 Phonewords, and the exact number and price are confirmed with you before connection — a search result is not a guarantee.
