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, the special case covered in 1300 number purchase; and phoneword auctions, the strongest words pass through an auction process, registering weeks rather than minutes, with the pattern tactics under smart numbers above.
The takeaway
Four steps, one sitting, no hardware: choose, register, plan, publish. The live pool and the rate card are a click away in steps one and three.
