1300 Number Providers in Australia
1300 numbers are 10-digit, Australia-wide numbers where the caller is charged a local call rate when dialling from an Australian phone line, including mobiles. Because they have no area code, there is no need for a state prefix — they work the same way whether the caller is in Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth.
Use the listings below to find Australian providers of 1300 numbers. Providers will typically give you a list of available numbers to choose from, making it easy to find a combination that suits your business.
How Do 1300 Numbers Work?
When a customer calls a 1300 number, the call enters the network and is instantly routed according to a routing strategy set up by your provider. That strategy determines where the call is directed — to a landline, mobile, call centre queue, or any combination — with no delay experienced by the caller.
Routing can be configured to handle calls differently based on time of day, caller location, call volume, or other criteria, giving you flexibility in how your number operates.
