1300 Numbers are easy for your clients to remember and cost the same to call from anywhere in the country (mobiles excluded). Simtex can supply a new 1300/1800 number, port an existing number within a few days, or configure a new number obtained via ACMA auction or ‘smartnumber’. Most services charge a flat rate for an un-timed call to 1300 numbers. Calls to 1800 numbers are free of charge from any landline, charges from mobile services may vary.
Calls to your 1300/1800 number will cost your clients the same amount from anywhere in Australia, even regional locations.
1300/1800 numbers give a national appearance to a small business, versus a local geographic number which may not look as professional to clients in other states.

Simtex can provide you with a small selection of random numbers or you can purchase a SmartNumber from ACMA. When purchasing from ACMA you can look for numbers with double and triple digits, or numbers which match specific words – ie 1300 001 BAT (228).
How to search for a SmartNumber
SmartNumbers can be purchased directly from ACMA from $250 each (Simtex $129 setup fee applies)
