1300 numbers
Callers pay standard local-call rates from a landline (and typically included in mobile plans), split between caller and business. A great default for most Australian businesses wanting one national number.
1800 numbers
Completely free for the caller from any landline or mobile — the business absorbs the full cost. Ideal for customer service, support lines, or anywhere you want to remove all friction to calling in.
What you can do with a smart number
Route calls anywhere
Send calls to your office landline, a mobile, a call queue, or a different number depending on time of day.
Time-of-day & after-hours rules
Automatically divert to voicemail, an after-hours message, or a different team outside business hours.
Call reporting
See call volumes, missed calls and answer times so you know how your number is performing.

Getting a number, or porting your existing one
1
Choose a number
Pick a standard randomly-allocated number at no extra cost, or choose a memorable ‘gold’ number for a higher monthly fee. Already have a 1300 or 1800 number with another provider? We can usually port it across.
2
Set your call routing
Tell us where calls should go — one destination, several in sequence, or a queue — and any after-hours or time-of-day rules you want.
3
We activate it
Standard numbers are typically active within 1–2 business days; porting an existing number can take a little longer depending on your current provider.
Top Answers
What's the real difference between a 1300 and an 1800 number?
Cost to the caller. A 1300 number is charged at local-call rates to the caller (and often included in mobile plan allowances); an 1800 number is completely free for the caller, with the business covering the full cost.
Can I port my existing 1300 or 1800 number to OM TELECOM?
In most cases, yes. Porting a smart number is a slightly different process to porting a regular phone number, but we can manage it for you — get in touch with your current provider details and we'll take care of the rest.
Can I change where my number routes to later?
Yes — call routing, time-of-day rules and after-hours messages can all be updated at any time, generally without any extra charge.
Do I need a business phone plan to get a 1300/1800 number?
A smart number needs somewhere to route calls to — most customers pair it with an OM TELECOM Business Phone plan, but it can also route to an existing landline or mobile number.
