How much does it cost? Questions
What is the minimum a 1300 number costs?
$10 a month on the Prepaid plan, which includes $5 call credit. Beyond the credit, calls bill per second at the plan rate.
Why would I pay more than $10?
Volume. Bigger cap plans include more call value at a flat fee — Cap39 at $39, Cap79 at $79, High Volume at $99 — which undercuts per-second overage once your traffic justifies it.
Do callers pay anything?
Yes — up to the local call rate from an Australian fixed line. From a mobile, the caller's carrier and plan set the charge.
Are there any other costs?
Standard features are included. The only separate product is premium phonewords — numbers spelling a brand word — from $40 a month.
How much does a 1300 number cost? The direct answer has three numbers in it: $10 to $99 a month for the plan, up to the local call rate for your callers, and per-second charging for call time beyond your plan's inclusions. Everything else is detail on those three numbers — here is the detail.
The plan: $10 to $99 a month
| 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 |
The cap plans are why the ladder exists: at each level, the flat fee absorbs the first slice of call time, so businesses that outgrow one cap move up rather than bleeding overage. All prices exclude GST, and the current per-minute rates for each plan — charged per second — are on the pricing page.
The caller: up to the local call rate
Whoever dials your 1300 number pays no more than a local call from an Australian fixed line — from anywhere in the country, with no distance premium. From a mobile, the caller's carrier and plan set the charge. This is the half of the cost most businesses forget to mention, and it is the caller's contribution that keeps the format cheaper to run than toll-free 1800.
The call charges: per second, beyond inclusions
Within your plan's inclusions, calls are covered by the monthly fee. Beyond them, call time bills per second at the plan's rate — with mobile-originated calls carrying a higher rate than fixed-line ones. What that adds up to depends on two things only you know: how many minutes you answer, and where your callers dial from. The first month's call reporting turns the guess into arithmetic; 1300 number cost and pricing works the scenarios.
The only other price to know
Standard features — routing, IVR, voicemail-to-email, recording, reporting — are included. Premium phonewords, the memorable numbers that spell a word, are a separate product tier from $40 a month. Beyond that, the cost model has no more moving parts: pick a number from the available 1300 numbers pool, start at the plan that matches your traffic, and let the reporting set your next move.
