The Smart Number Service — Scope and Boundaries
What a smart number service includes end to end — search, confirmation, connection, plans, support — and the boundaries where the service ends.
A smart number service is best described by its edges: what it includes end to end, and where it stops. This page walks both — the full service as published, and the boundaries that keep the description honest.
The service, end to end
- Discovery: Find a Number searches available 1300/1800 Phonewords by word or last six digits — the listing of what exists, browsable free.
- Confirmation: the sign-up process confirms your candidate against the live listing — the moment the word attaches to you. Before confirmation, everything is browsing.
- Connection: the flow asks for the answering point — the number the service will connect to — so calls land where the organisation nominates.
- Operation: the number runs on a published plan from $10 per month, with per-minute call rates per the plan's table on the pricing page; the word component starts from $40 per month, priced on availability and desirability.
- Support: the team on 1300 327 934 and info@1300easydial.com.au, during standard business hours (AEST), at 215 Bunya Road, North Arm QLD 4561.
The boundaries where the service ends
- At the answering point: what happens on the phone that answers is the organisation's arrangement — the published pages stop at the connection step.
- At the domestic border: the published caller arrangements are Australian-context; international dialling behaviour is not published material.
- At the published capability list: the three add-ons — Call Tracking Numbers ($5 per month), an IVR Keypress Menu ($35 per month), a Postcode Prompter ($250 per month) — are the documented call-management options; nothing beyond them is published.
- At the terms: licence, billing and cancellation are governed by the terms and conditions, not by any service summary.
The service against the shopping list
A practical way to use the scope: bring a shopping list — a word, a base, a plan, an answering point — and check each item against the service as published. Discovery covers the word's existence, confirmation covers the attachment, connection covers the answering point, operation covers the plan, support covers the questions. Any item the service cannot check is an item to resolve elsewhere — and knowing that before purchase is the entire value of reading a scope page.
Why the scope matters to the buyer
Because a service described by its edges cannot surprise you at its centre. Everything the smart number service does is on the list above, published; everything it does not do is on the boundary list, also published. A buyer who reads both knows exactly what they are purchasing — which is more than most services in this market offer.

Service questions
Does the service include setup help?
The published support path — phone, email, business hours — covers questions through the process, and the flow itself is self-serve. What "setup help" means beyond that is a question for the team at sign-up.
Does the service end if I cancel?
Cancellation is a terms-and-conditions matter — the obligations are published there, and this page does not paraphrase them.
Is the service the same for a plain number?
Yes — the service scope is per-number: discovery, confirmation, connection, plan and support. The word component is the only part that is word-specific.
Does the service include call answering?
No — the published service ends at the answering point; who answers and how is the organisation's arrangement. The add-ons are routing and measurement, not answering.
