Getting Your 1300 Number: Fast and Simple
Getting a 1300 number for your business is one of the quickest ways to establish a professional phone presence. The entire process happens online, takes less than 10 minutes, and your number activates immediately. There’s no need to wait for technician visits, install hardware, or coordinate with telecommunications providers—everything is virtual and instant.
You’ll start by browsing available numbers in our inventory. Choose a random number for immediate availability, or search for patterns like repeating digits (1300 111 222) or sequential numbers (1300 123 456) that are easier for customers to remember. Once you’ve selected your number, complete your account details and payment, and you’re ready to receive calls.

What You Need to Get a 1300 Number
The requirements to get a 1300 number are minimal—far simpler than applying for traditional business services. You’ll need your business name (sole traders can use their personal name), contact email address, and the phone number where you want calls directed. This destination number can be any Australian landline, mobile, or VoIP number.
Payment is by credit card or direct debit. There’s no credit check, no application approval process, and no minimum contract period. Whether you’re a sole trader starting your first business or a large corporation, the process is identical and equally straightforward. Most customers complete signup in under 5 minutes.
After signup, you’ll receive login credentials for your management portal. This web-based interface lets you configure how your 1300 number operates: set business hours, record greetings, create call routing rules, enable voicemail, and access call reports. The portal is designed for non-technical users—if you can use email, you can manage your 1300 number.
To understand what you’ll pay, check our transparent pricing at 1300 numbers cost and pricing. Plans start from $10/month with no setup fees.
When you get a 1300 number, you’ll choose between different number types based on memorability and cost. Standard random numbers are included in all plans at no extra charge. These work perfectly well functionally but may be harder for customers to remember from advertising.
Premium numbers with patterns like repeating digits (1300 000 111) or sequences (1300 234 567) are easier for customers to recall and dial. These are available at the standard monthly rate. Phonewords—numbers that spell out words relevant to your business—cost an additional $50 per month but can significantly improve marketing effectiveness if the word aligns with your brand.
Your choice of number doesn’t affect call quality, features, or routing capabilities. The only difference is memorability, which impacts how effectively customers can recall and dial your number after seeing it in advertising. For businesses in competitive markets, a memorable number can provide a significant advantage.
Immediate Activation and Setup
The moment you complete payment, your 1300 number is active and ready to receive calls. There’s no provisioning delay, no waiting period, and no technical setup required from your end. The number is immediately added to Australia’s telephone network and will ring through to your designated destination number.
You can test your new number immediately by calling it from any phone. The call should connect within seconds, confirming everything is working correctly. From there, you can log into your management portal and customize settings: add more destination numbers for failover, set business hours, record custom greetings, or configure advanced features like geographic routing.

Getting a Number vs. Porting an Existing One
When you get a 1300 number, you have two options: select a brand new number from our inventory, or port an existing 1300 number from another provider. Most customers getting their first 1300 number will select a new one, which offers the widest choice and activates instantly.
If you already have a 1300 number with another provider and want to keep the same number, you can port it to our service. Porting takes 1-2 business days and requires authorization from your current provider. We handle all the technical coordination—you just complete a simple form. During the port, you experience zero downtime as calls continue to your existing provider until the switch completes.
Whether you get a new number or port an existing one, you’ll have access to the same features and pricing. Many businesses choose to keep their existing number when switching providers to avoid updating marketing materials and maintaining brand consistency. If you’re based outside major cities, see our guide for businesses looking to get a 1300 number anywhere in Australia.
