What is a Smartnumber?

A Smartnumber or Phone Word is any 1300 number that is especially easy to remember. For example, it might translate -thanks to the letters on your keypad- to a word, like 1300 HEALTH (which is 1300 432584). But a 1300 smartnumber can also just mean a 1300 number that sticks in your mind. Many large businesses, law offices, medical services, etc have such numbers. An example would be something like 1300 555555, or 1300 332233. You get the idea: a Smart number is a phone number you’re not likely to forget after seeing or hearing it.

1300 ACMA Smartnumbers

All communications and media (telecommunications, internet, radio, broadcasting) throughout Australia are overseen by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). So the ACMA’s duties include regulating the purchase, sale and use of smartnumbers. Have you ever seen a company advertising phonewords? That company first had to buy the rights to the numbers in their inventory from the ACMA. Once the rights are purchased, the company can lease or sell it to another party.
