Select a Phone Number for Your Business

Selecting a phone number for your business means deciding three things in order: which type of number fits the way customers call you, which plan carries it, and which specific number is actually available. 1300 Easy Dial sells 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords, so this page walks through the selection path using those published options.

Select the number type first

The type sets the caller experience, so it is the first decision — not the digits. A 1300 number is presented as a shared-cost business number, with public plans starting at $10 per month. An 1800 number is free for customers to call in the stated Australian 1800-number context, and the business pays the call charges. A Phoneword uses a 13, 1300 or 1800 number to spell a word on the telephone keypad, with published pricing starting from $40 per month.

If you cannot decide between them, the business number overview compares all three categories side by side.

Search what is actually available

Availability is the second gate, because the number you want may already be in use. The Find a Number search lists available 1300 and 1800 Phonewords — the published hint is to search the last six digits of the number or the word you have in mind, without typing the 1300 or 1800 prefix. A search result shows what is listed as available today; it does not reserve the number, and it does not promise a specific word or a specific price for it.

Match the plan to your call volume

Once the type and number are settled, the monthly plan decides the running cost. Published 1300 and 1800 plans sit at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month, and each plan carries its own call-rate table. The pricing page is the source for those rates — read the plan rows rather than estimating, because the right plan depends on how many calls you expect and from what kind of device.

What selecting a number does not settle

Availability of a specific word: the search shows current listings, but no page on this site guarantees that a particular word is available or what it will cost.
Activation timing: no timeframe is published on this page; the team can confirm current timing if you contact us.
Ownership terms: what you hold in a number is governed by the terms and conditions, which override any summary here.

Selecting a phone number: questions

Which number type should I select first?

Start from the caller experience. Choose an 1800 number if callers should pay nothing in the Australian context, a 1300 number for a shared-cost arrangement, or a Phoneword if the number itself should spell a word. Then search availability for the specific number.

How do I check whether the number I want exists?

Use Find a Number and search the last six digits or the word. Results reflect the current available listing — availability is not promised for any specific word until it is confirmed with the team.

Does selecting a number commit me to a plan?

Choosing a number and choosing a plan are separate decisions. Plans start at $10 per month for 1300 and 1800 numbers, and the published plan and call-rate tables are on the pricing page.

Can I select a word instead of digits?

Yes — a Phoneword spells a word on the keypad using a 13, 1300 or 1800 base. Pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word.
