Australia’s trusted 1300 number provider.

Calls to 1300 numbers are billed based on your provider, in accordance with guidelines from ACMA. Calls from landlines are charged the rate of a local call, while calls from mobile phones and VoIP services are billed differently (see below).

Calls to 1300 numbers are billed based on your provider, in accordance with guidelines from ACMA. Most mobile plans include unlimited calls, but it’s best to check your call plan for specific details.

There are two ways you can get a 1300 number.

The first way is to secure one from a telco that offers them. Most service providers will have a catalogue of 1300 numbers at different prices (see “How much does a 1300 number cost?).

The second way is to purchase the rights to a 1300 number through ACMA’s Numbering System website. You may want to use this method if you are searching for a custom or “vanity” number, also called a phone word or smartnumber. Once you have secured the number you want, you’ll then need to have it activated with a 1300 number service provider.

To call a 1300 number from overseas, dial:

001 + 61 + 1300xxxxxx

001 is the international dial-out code, while 61 is Australia’s country code.

There is no guarantee, however, that a 1300 number can be reached from another country. Whether or not you can complete the call depends on a number of factors, including the functions of the phone exchange you’re calling from or the services of the network operator you’re using.
