13 and 1300 numbers and costs

The cost of making telephone calls to numbers beginning with 13 and 1300 is often different from the cost of a local call. The cost of a local call depends on:

• the telephone company that provides your fixed telephone service
• the local/long distance call plan that you have joined

The cost of a 13 or 1300 call from a fixed telephone service is determined by your telephone company and the contract/plan you have. Calls made from a mobile may be charged at a timed rate. Before calling from a mobile phone, check with your provider to find out the price under your plan as you may have to pay more than the cost of a local call.
