How Much Does a 1300 Number Cost in Australia?

How much does a 1300 number cost in Australia? The same in every state and territory, which simplifies the answer: plans run from $10 to $99 a month, callers pay up to the local call rate from a fixed line anywhere in the country, and call charges beyond the plan's inclusions bill per second at published rates. There is no state-by-state pricing and no distance component — the inbound ranges are national.

The monthly plans

| 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 |

All prices exclude GST. Cap plans charge only the monthly fee until the included value runs out, then bill calls per second at the plan's rate — which differs for calls originating from fixed lines versus mobiles. The current rate card is on the pricing page.

The two sides, summarised

• Your callers pay up to the local call rate from fixed lines — no more, anywhere in Australia — with mobile charges set by their own carriers and plans.
• Your business pays the plan fee plus call time beyond the inclusions. What that totals depends on your answered minutes and the fixed-line/mobile mix; 1300 number cost and pricing works the scenarios, and the first month's reporting settles the estimate with real numbers.
