About 1300 Numbers (or 1-300 Numbers)
There are many so-called specialist carriers of Australian 1300 numbers and 1800 numbers. Some offer low-cost monthly plans and call rates which make it affordable for just about every business across Australia to have the benefits of customers talking free. 1300 numbers and 1800 numbers are geographically independent virtual numbers that cost the same to call from anywhere in Australia which makes it enticing for your customers to call you.
The first question about getting a 1300 number service is the cost of hosting it so it's important to compare call rates to determine the best cost solution for your business needs. Reputable 1300 number providers openly publish a rates card or table of rates.
1300 numbers and 1800 numbers include some amazing features such as state based routing, area based routing, mobile bases routing, simple overflow routing, time based routing and much more. Another key benefit is if you relocate to a new physical location you only have to change to where the 1300 number is diverted which means your letter-heads, business cards, web site and other advertising won't need changing.
1300 numbers and 1800 numbers are also referred to as "Inbound Numbers", "Toll-Free Numbers" and "Reverse Charge Numbers". Across Australia the toll-free number becomes the single contact point for your business 24/7 and you determine where it points your calls and how each call is delivered for example to your business phone, mobile phone, fax2email service, voice2email service and even to an international destination. No matter if you run a small business or manage a large corporation, an inbound number gives your business ultimate flexibility.
Another type of inbound number is called a "Flash 1300 Number™"
