Phone names are 13, 1300 and 1800 numbers that spell the name of the business through the alphanumeric keypad. They're a fantastic way of continually promoting the business name through the company's telephone number. Rather than remembering a sequence of numbers, customers only have to remember the business name.
The numbers are sold by ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) which manages and administers all the numbers. Business 1300 offers a FREE Search and Advice service to help you find the right phone name for your business. We'll search the ACMA database for an available number that best suits your needs, and then if you decide to go ahead, purchase it on your behalf.

There are many examples of phones names. Numbers like 1300 HILTON, 13 POST and 1300 WILSON are just some of the numbers used by leading companies to promote their name and ensure their number gets remembered. And if your exact business name is not available, there are other ways to incorporate it into a 1300 or 1800 number. A popular way is to put the number 4 before the name. For example, 1300 4 WILSON may be a good option. And even though the number is longer than 10 digits, it will still get remembered and the call will connect.
