Purchase a Local Phone Number
Looking to purchase a local phone number? See what 1300 Easy Dial actually sells — 1300, 1800 and Phoneword business numbers — and what it does not.
If by "local phone number" you mean a geographic landline number tied to a specific town or region, that is not what 1300 Easy Dial sells. The published products are 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords — inbound Australian business numbers. This page answers the purchase intent with what is actually on sale, and states plainly what is not.
What you can purchase here:
- 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; the business pays the call charges. Plans also start at $10 per month.
- Phoneword: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number spelling a word on the keypad, from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
Why a 1300 or 1800 number can serve the same purpose
Buyers usually want a "local" number so customers recognise the contact point and trust the call. A 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost business number, and an 1800 number removes the caller charge entirely in the stated Australian context. Neither depends on where your business sits, and both are published business contact points rather than personal lines. Whether that substitutes for a geographic number is your call — the honest position is that a geographic landline product is not offered here.

Local phone number questions
Can I buy a geographic local landline number here?
No. The published products are 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords. A geographic landline product tied to a specific town or region is not part of the published range, so this site cannot quote one.
What does purchasing a number cost?
Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month, each with its own call-rate table on the pricing page. Phonewords start from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price.
Is a specific number guaranteed to be available?
No. Use Find a Number to search what is listed, but availability is not promised for a particular word or number, and Phoneword pricing varies with desirability.
Do callers pay to dial a 1300 number?
A 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost number — callers and the business each meet part of the call cost. An 1800 number is free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context.
