1300 cost in Australia: questions
What do 1300 numbers cost Australian businesses?
A monthly plan from $10 to $99 plus per-second call charges for traffic beyond the plan's inclusions. Rates differ for calls originating from fixed lines versus mobiles.
What do callers pay to ring a 1300 number in Australia?
Up to the local call rate from a fixed line, anywhere in Australia. From a mobile, the caller's carrier and plan set the charge.
Do prices differ between states?
No. A 1300 number is national — the same plans and rates apply whether your callers are in Sydney, Perth or regional Queensland, and callers pay the same local-rate amount.
Where are the current call rates listed?
On the pricing page, which holds the per-minute rates (charged per second) for every plan, along with inclusions and GST notes.
1300 numbers cost the same everywhere in Australia — that is the point of the format. One national price list: monthly plans from $10 to $99, caller charges capped at the local call rate from any state or territory, and business call charges calculated per second beyond whatever the plan includes. There is no state-by-state pricing, no distance component and no regional surcharge to hunt for.
The business side: plans and call charges
| Plan | Monthly fee | Includes | |---|---|---| | Prepaid 1300 | $10 | $5 call credit | | Light 1300 | $15 | $5 call credit | | Cap39 tier | $39 | Included fixed-line and/or mobile minutes | | Cap79 1300 | $79 | 750 fixed-line + 300 mobile minutes | | High Volume 1300 | $99 | $99 call credit |
Beyond each plan's inclusions, calls bill per second at the plan's per-minute rate, which differs for calls originating from fixed lines versus mobiles. All prices exclude GST. The current rate card for every plan lives on the pricing page, and the charges are itemised in charges for 1300 numbers.
The caller side: local rate, nationally
From an Australian fixed line, a caller pays up to the local call rate to dial any 1300 number in the country — the same amount whether the business answers next door or on the other side of the continent. From a mobile, the caller's carrier and plan set the charge; many plans include 1300 calls under the standard allowance. That national local-rate guarantee is the core of the format's appeal to callers, and worth saying plainly in your own marketing.
Why there is no cheaper state
The 1300 range is national infrastructure: numbers are allocated under the national numbering plan and carry no geography. A business in Hobart pays the same plan fee as one in Brisbane, and neither pays more to answer calls from the other's city. Distance-based pricing simply does not exist in the inbound ranges — the 1300 numbering system explains the structure behind that.
