FAQs - 13 Smartnumbers (word numbers)




How many characters can a 13 Smartnumber have?

A normal 13 number has 6 characters - ie. 4 characters after 13.
This can be displayed as

  • 13 XXXX


  • A 13 Smart number can have up to 5 characters after 13.
    That is, up to 7 characters in total.

    eg. 13 XXXXx

    We can configure your 13 Smartnumber on the 13 number network so that if a caller dials more than 7 characters, the excess characters are ignored.

    The Smartnumber I want has already been taken. What are my options?

    You'll find that the best generic 13 phone words have already been taken. (eg. 13 HIRE)

    If the number has been purchased by a business that wants to use the name itself, then you're alternatives are:

    • the company may only be using the number in a small area away from you (eg. they may be in NSW and only want customers from that state - you may be in Victoria. They may be happy to lease it to you for use in Victoria only.
    • If the number has been purchased by a phoneword company, you will have to lease it from them. The number never belongs to you - it is only leased to you by the phone word company.
      You will need to pay a monthly fee to lease it. Usually, you will be required to sign a 1-3 year contract with price rises each year. At the end of the contract period, you will need to re-negotiate. If you don't agree to the new terms or you have a falling out with that provider, they could lease your (previous) number to one of your competitors.
    • be creative and create a variation or something more unique and relative to your business. (Example. 13 4HIRE, 13 2HIRE)

    If I buy a smartnumber, can you act as my carrier?

    Yes we can.
    Although its not absolutely necessary, you can select Alltel from the drop-down list of Smartnumber carriers when nominating your desired Smartnumber to be auctioned.
    Once you've "won" the auction and paid for your number, you simply open an account with us, provide us with your Smartnumber information and you'll have your new Smart Number operating (usually) within 7 working days. Top of Page
