Registration questions
What do I need to register a 1300 number?
An account with the carrier, a chosen number from the availability pool, and a plan — standard numbers from $10 a month. Have your contact and payment details ready; the number choice and routing configuration are the decisions that take thought.
Can a number be registered to a person, not a business?
Carriers set their own account requirements — some numbers and services may require business details. Check with the carrier during registration rather than assuming; the process itself is otherwise identical.
How long does registration take?
The registration and connection are minutes of work — the pool is a snapshot, so choose and register in the same sitting. Premium phonewords passing through auctions take longer; porting an existing number depends on the losing carrier.
"Register" is the right word for getting a 1300 number: you are registering a claim on a national identifier, hosted on your account. The process is four steps and one sitting — because the availability pool is a snapshot, registration works best when the number choice and the account creation happen together. Here is each step with what it requires.
Step 1: choose the number
Search the live availability pool — free, no account: available numbers. Two tiers exist: standard digit patterns from $10 a month, and phonewords — word-spelling patterns — with premium leases from $40 a month. Shortlist before you register: pattern tactics and the over-dialling trick are in smart numbers.
Step 2: provide account details
Registration is account creation with the carrier: your contact details, your payment method, and whatever account verification the carrier requires — check with them directly rather than assuming, since requirements vary by number type and service. This is also the moment the number becomes yours: connected, hosted, and routed per your instructions.
Step 3: pick the plan
The plan hosts the number: routing, reporting and the core feature set ride on it, from $10 a month, with call charges billed per second once calls arrive. The matching method — volume against the rate card — is in 1300 number plans, with the full table on the pricing page.
Step 4: set routing and publish
Point the number at the phones you answer — mobile, landline or team — with overflow and time-based rules as needed. Then publish: website, profiles, invoices, signage. The registration is complete when the number is live somewhere customers can see it; the product summary is on 1300 numbers.
The special cases
Two paths skip steps: porting — if you already hold a 1300 elsewhere, the number transfers and you register only the hosting (how to get a 1300 number); and phoneword auctions — the strongest words pass through an auction process, registering weeks rather than minutes (smart numbers).
The takeaway
Four steps, one sitting, no hardware: choose, register, plan, publish. The live pool — the first step — is at available numbers, and every rate you will meet is on the pricing page.
