Read the comparison →How we compare
Every comparison uses the same ten criteria: monthly fee, setup fee, per-minute rate to a landline, per-minute rate to a mobile, minimum term, and whether call recording, IVR, call routing, number porting and call reporting are included, sold as add-ons or not published. Jet's side of every table comes from the same published price list, so it reads identically on every page. Competitor figures are only ever the ones the provider publishes, cited with the page and the date we read it. Where a provider does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.

What should I compare when choosing a 1300 number provider?
Ten things: the monthly access fee, any setup or connection fee, the per-minute rate to a landline and to a mobile (most providers charge double for mobiles), the minimum term, and whether call recording, IVR, routing, porting and reporting are included, add-ons or not offered. The per-minute mobile rate and the add-ons usually matter more than the headline monthly fee.
Can I move my 1300 number between providers?
Yes. 1300 numbers are portable between Australian carriers. The new provider arranges the port, which usually takes a few business days with no downtime. Jet ports numbers in free and charges $50 to port out; other providers' port fees are listed where they publish them.
