A blog post explaining the costs involved in managing 13 numbers, 1300 phone numbers and 1800 telephone numbers
Many folks have asked me exactly what the difference is between 13 numbers, 1300 numbers and 1800 telephone numbers. As a result I have decided to write a post to explain all the differences. In terms of functionality, there is no difference whatsoever. A 13 number, 1300 number and 1800 telephone number all have the same redirecting capabilities like telephone call skipping and area based redirecting. They also have exactly the same reporting features where you can retrieve data from them such as the origin of the telephone call and total number of calls acquired. So exactly what are the differences then?The main difference is essentially in the charges involved in sustaining these numbers. Let’s start by talking about the cost of 13 telephone numbers first. A 13 number is easily the most expensive phone number to run.You have to pay a month-to-month government levy to retain the telephone number. This tax levy is normally about $1000.
So exactly what is this levy for? Because a 13 number only is composed of 6 digits there is a limited supply for these types of telephone numbers. Because of this the government charges a premium amount for the use of 13 numbers.
Apart from the government tax levy you will probably need to pay a connection cost, month-to-month line rental fee and also telephone call fees to operate the service. With the phone call fees, the very first 11 minutes of a regional phone call is absolutely free of charge. The charges involved in running a 1300 number are similar to a 13 phone number. The major difference being the fact that a federal government levy is not required. With a 1300 number you also get the very first 15 minutes of a neighborhood phone call completely free.1800 numbers have similar costs except there aren't any free minutes available on regional phone calls.
