About 1300 Number And 1800 Number Routing:

Routing is a term associated with the reverse charge 1300 and 1800 networks.

Calls made to a 1300 number or 1800 number are routed to a destination phone number.

The destination phone number can be to a landline, mobile or VoiP number.

Simple 1300 Number And 1800 Number Routing:

Calls made to a 1300 number or 1800 number can be routed first to primary destination number then if it is busy or it rings out, the calls can be simply routed to a second destination.

As an example, a home based business often has simple routing in place from their home phone to their mobile phone. If their home phone is busy or rings out after, say 10 seconds it simply diverts to thier mobile. That means all calls are received regardless how busy the home phone is which means those all important missed customer calls are eliminated.
