Carrier question, answered carefully
Are 1800 Numbers Free on Gomo?
Whether calls to 1800 numbers are free on a given mobile carrier is set by that carrier's plan terms — and we will not quote Gomo's terms for them. What we can do is explain the design, the variables, and the one-minute check that settles it.

Gomo and 1800 calls
So are they free or not?
From standard Australian fixed lines, calls to 1800 numbers are free by the design of the service. From mobiles, treatment depends on the carrier and the caller's plan — Gomo's current terms are theirs to publish, and their site or support line is the authoritative source.
Why will you not just say yes?
Because carrier plan terms change and we have no verified record of Gomo's current inclusions. A stale "yes" on our page would not stop a surprise charge on your bill — the honest answer is the check, not the guess.
Does the number owner pay either way?
Yes — the business running the 1800 number pays for the calls it receives, per the plan. That is the toll-free bargain: the caller's free call is funded by the number owner, whatever the caller's carrier charges or does not.
"Are 1800 numbers free on Gomo" is a question only Gomo's current plan terms can answer, because mobile carriers set their own treatment of 1800 calls. What we can state plainly is the design of the 1800 service, which parts are universal and which belong to the carrier — and a one-minute check that beats any secondhand answer. This page is written the way we would want any carrier's answer written: no stale promises.
What the 1800 design guarantees
The 1800 service is built around a bargain: the caller pays nothing on standard Australian fixed lines, and the business that owns the number pays for the calls it receives. That owner-side obligation is universal — it is what the plan charges, described in 1800 number cost. The free-to-caller side, from a fixed line, is equally universal: the same number dials the same way from every Australian state, as covered in do 1800 numbers have regions.
What the carrier decides
Mobile networks are the variable. A mobile carrier chooses how calls to 1800 numbers are treated on its plans — included, charged at a rate, or handled some other way — and can change that between plans or over time. Gomo is a mobile carrier, so the question lands entirely on their side of the fence. The same caution applies to every Australian mobile provider, which is why our general mobile-answer page stays hedged: see are 1800 numbers free from mobiles in Australia.
The one-minute check
Two sources beat any article, including this one: the carrier's published call-rate or plan-terms page for their current treatment of 1800 calls, and their support line for anything ambiguous. If the terms mention "freephone" or list 1800 alongside included call types, that is your answer for your plan. If they are silent, ask — silence is not a promise.
The flip side: owning the number
Many people searching this are on the other side of the bargain — they want callers to reach them free. That is the 1800 number product: you fund the call, callers dial one national number, and routing delivers the calls wherever you answer. Plans start at $10 a month, with the full rate table on the pricing page.
