Virtual Phone Number for Business

Here is the plain answer: 1300 Easy Dial publishes 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords — inbound business numbers with public plans starting at $10 per month. It does not publish virtual-mobile or SMS-number services, so if your search was aimed at those, this site cannot answer it.

For the business use most people mean by "virtual number" — a published contact point that is separate from a personal or internal line — the published products do answer the query, and the rest of this page sticks to what they establish.

What "virtual" usually means, and what is published here

Marketing uses "virtual number" for several different products: app-based dialling, virtual-mobile numbers that receive SMS, and basic inbound numbers that are not tied to a single line. The overlap is the separation: a number customers dial that is distinct from the phone it rings on.

That separation is what an inbound 1300 or 1800 number provides in its published form. The signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to — the answering point your calls reach — so the published business number and the phone answering it are two different things.

The published facts to judge

1300 number: a shared-cost business number; the caller pays a local call cost and the business pays the remainder. 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 that spells a word on the keypad, from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price.
Connection: the answering point you nominate in the signup flow.

Current plan fees and call-rate tables are on the pricing page. The pricing page also lists three add-ons — Call Tracking Numbers ($5 per month), an IVR Keypress Menu ($35 per month) and a Postcode Prompter ($250 per month) — published as services that help manage and analyse incoming calls.

What is not published here

To keep the comparison honest: virtual-mobile numbers, SMS-capable numbers, temporary or free numbers and app-based phone systems are not part of the published product range. This page does not claim device behaviour, app features or messaging capability for any number, because the published material does not establish them.

If the "virtual" label matters to your decision, weigh the published facts — caller cost, plan price, memorability and the answering-point step — rather than the word itself. The virtual numbers for business overview covers the same ground from the category side.

Virtual number questions

Is a 1300 number a virtual number?

The published pages describe 1300 and 1800 numbers as inbound business numbers connected through the signup flow's answering-point question. They do not use "virtual" as a product term, so judge the published facts rather than the label.

Can I get a virtual mobile number or SMS number here?

Not from these pages. The published products are 1300 numbers, 1800 numbers and Phonewords; virtual-mobile and SMS-number services are not part of the published range.

How much does a business number cost per month?

Published 1300 and 1800 plans start at $10 per month, and Phonewords start from $40 per month with availability and desirability affecting the price of a specific word.

Will my customers pay to call the number?

On an 1800 number, no — callers call free in the stated Australian 1800-number context and the business pays the call charges. A 1300 number shares the cost between caller and business.
