What You Need to Purchase a 1300 Number
To purchase a 1300 number, you’ll need basic business information and a payment method. There are no complex application forms or approval processes—if you can sign up for any online service, you can get a 1300 number.
You’ll provide your business name, contact details, and the phone number where you want calls directed (mobile, landline, or VoIP). Payment can be made via credit card or direct debit. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
If you’re wondering how to get a 1300 number, the process is designed to be as simple as possible with no technical expertise required.
When purchasing, you can either select a random available number or search for specific patterns. Many businesses choose numbers with repeating digits (like 1300 111 222) or sequential patterns (1300 123 456) because they’re easier for customers to remember. Phonewords—numbers that spell out your business name or service—are also available at a premium price of $50/month.
Your choice of number doesn’t affect call quality or features. All 1300 numbers include the same core functionality: call routing, voicemail, time-based routing, and access to the management portal. The main difference is memorability, which can impact how easily customers recall and dial your number.
Most customers choose our 1300 Prepaid plan at $10/month to start, which includes $5 in call credit. This plan is ideal for testing the service or for businesses with low call volumes. As your needs grow, you can upgrade to plans with included minutes that offer better value for high-volume users.
There’s no lock-in contract, so you can change plans or cancel at any time without penalties. This flexibility ensures you’re never paying for more than you need, and you can scale up as your business grows.
Immediate Activation and Setup
One of the biggest advantages of purchasing a 1300 number is immediate activation. The moment your payment is processed, your number is live and ready to receive calls. There’s no waiting period, no installation appointments, and no hardware to set up.
After purchase, you’ll receive login credentials to access your online management portal. From there, you can configure call routing, set business hours, record greetings, and customize how your number operates. Most businesses complete their initial setup in under 15 minutes.

Purchasing vs. Porting an Existing Number
When purchasing a 1300 number, you have two options: get a brand new number or port an existing one from another provider. Most new customers purchase a fresh number, which activates instantly. This is the fastest option and gives you the widest selection of available numbers to choose from.
If you already have a 1300 number with another provider and want to keep it, you can port it to our service. Porting takes 1-2 business days and requires authorization from your current provider. We handle all the technical coordination, so the process is seamless from your perspective. During the port, you’ll experience zero downtime—calls continue to your existing provider until the switch completes.
Whether you get a new 1300 number or port an existing one, you’ll have access to the same features and pricing. Many businesses choose to port their number to maintain brand consistency and avoid updating marketing materials.
