A blog post detailing the difference between a land telephone line and a 1300 number

1300 numbers are usually referred to as local call phone numbers.

The main reason they are referred to as local telephone numbers is mainly because the client pays a local call charge when they dial a 1-300 telephone number from a fixed telephone line.

Please be aware that quite a few people also refer to them as 13 numbers.

Phone callers utilizing a mobile phone will pay a rate that is calculated by their mobile service provider. For the owner of a 1300 number, the initial 10 minutes of a community telephone is totally cost-free.

As opposed to a typical land line phone number, with a 1300 phone number you get to keep the same telephone number even if you move. You do not have to reprint your stationery or catalogues. This will undoubtedly save you heaps of money.

The main reason you get to keep your number is because a 1300 number is a virtual number. Compared with a fixed line a 1-300 number is not physically attached to a copper line. A 1300 number only diverts to a fixed phone line or mobile phone number.

A normal land line number will only answer one telephone call at one time. You can also generate outgoing telephone calls on a normal land line number. You can't actually make any outgoing telephone calls on a 1-300 number.

They are designed to collect inbound phone calls only. 1-300 phone numbers however have the ability to take a large number of incoming telephone calls at the very same time. This is achieved by implementing its very flexible phone call routing features.

For instance, a fast food operation has numerous stores right across the country. They want their phone calls to redirect to all their local shops.

To do this they can install suburb based redirecting on their 1300 telephone number. This feature redirects phone calls based on the suburb that the call came from. This means that multiple phone calls can be taken right across multiple shops all at the same time
