Cheapest 1300 Numbers in Australia

What is the cheapest 1300 number in Australia? The honest floor: a free-to-connect standard number on the Prepaid plan — $10 a month with $5 call credit included, month to month, answered on a phone you already own. Everything below that price is a claim that needs its rate card inspected.

Why $10 is the floor

A 1300 number has unavoidable costs: national call carriage, the routing platform, the features. A $10 plan covers the service and includes the first $5 of call credit; beyond the credit, calls bill per second at the plan's published rate. Anyone promising a working 1300 for less is recovering the difference somewhere — deferred fees, non-portable numbers, or rates that surface with the traffic. The full model is in 1300 number cost and pricing, with the rates on the pricing page.

What cheap should include

• The feature layer. Routing, IVR menus, voicemail-to-email, recording and reporting included — not re-priced as extras.
• Published rates by origin. Fixed-line and mobile per-second charges, in writing.
• Portability. The number leaves with you; a cheap number you cannot move is a lease.
• Month-to-month terms. Commitment is a cost, whatever the sticker says.

We publish all four. A competitor who beats those terms on the same facts deserves the business — published comparison is the whole point.

Where cheap meets memorable

Standard numbers are the cheap tier, and callers cannot tell them from premium ones. If memorability matters — phonewords that spell your brand start at $40 a month — that is a branding upgrade, not a running-cost necessity: cheap 1300 numbers covers the distinction.
