13/1300/1800 Number Costs
There are two main costs associated with getting a 13, 1300 or 1800 number for your business, the cost of the actual number and the running costs. The cost of the actual 13, 1300 or 1800 number depends on the type of number you choose. There is a choice between Free Pool Numbers and Smart Numbers. There are also companies that lease numbers, although that’s not advisable as you never own the ROU (rights of use) and it can be quite expensive.
Free Pool Numbers
No Upfront 13/1300/1800 Number Costs
There is no upfront cost associated with Free Pool Numbers. They are issued free of charge and allocated to you at the time of connection. You normally choose from a selection of randomly generated numbers that come from an ACMA database. Free Pool Numbers usually have no significant pattern to them or spell any words through the alphanumeric keypad.
Smart Numbers
Buy the Number from $250
There is a minimum upfront cost of $250 plus an administration fee for Smart Numbers. They are highly memorable numbers that either spell a word through the alphanumeric keypad or have a memorable numeric pattern. The cost of the number includes the ROU (rights of use) which gives you 100% rights to the number and enables you to trade, lease or on-sell the number.
Number Leasing
Beware of the Pitfalls
There are usually no upfront 13/1300/1800 number costs when leasing a number. In most cases, you are required to sign a long-term contract committing to paying a monthly lease fee for the number. The fees are dependent upon how memorable and marketable the number is, and it’s not unusual for a number that can be bought for $250 to be leased for the same amount per month.
We advise our clients to purchase the numbers whenever they can and only lease them if there are exceptional reasons. You should always own the marketing investment that has been put into the number and never risk it going to a competitor. And the only way to do that is to own the ROU (rights of use). By leasing the number you never actually own the ROU or the rights to the number, the leasing company does.
Free Search and Advice
Need help choosing a number? Business 1300 offers a Free Search and Advice service to help you get the right number for your business. We'll search for a selection of numbers to choose from across both the Free Pool and Smart Number databases. And we don't lease numbers so the ROU is transferred to you and the number becomes your asset. CLICK HERE or call us on 1300 00 1300 and speak to one of our Business Consultants.
Guide to Account Holder Call Rates and Costs
The account holder of the 13, 1300 or 1800 number is charged for every incoming call. The rates are dependent upon the plan, call origin and where the inbound number is being routed to i.e. landline or mobile number.

Local calls are defined as ones made from a landline phone number with the same area prefix as the one to which the 13/1300/1800 number is being routed to. This applies to Australian landlines only.
National Calls
- Rate applicable to national calls made via a landline to a 13/1300/1800 number that's routed to an Australian landline.

How Many Calls Are Covered by the Call Credit?

On average, a typical call costs around 14c on our $45 Pro 1300 Plan. Therefore a $45 call credit would cover more than 300 calls per month.
