Included Features
As standard with all easyinbound 1300 number plans.
State Based Routing
State-Based Routing directs phone calls based on the location of the caller. For example, incoming calls from Victoria are directed to the Melbourne office, calls from New South Wales are directed to the head office in Sydney, and calls from other areas of the country are also directed to the head office.
Time of Day Routing
All easyinbound numbers come with time-of-day and day-of-week routing which enables you to direct your calls to different numbers, announcements or voicemail depending on your business rules.
Recorded Announcements
A Recorded Voice Announcement (RVA) is a recorded message that is played to an incoming caller; the call will then end. easyinbound clients can record and send us their own message for use as a Recorded Voice Announcement.
Real-Time Call Reporting
Don’t wait 24 hours to see your call data reports, our real-time portal is up to date with your callers information (like the date, time, number and location they called from) just seconds after the call has ended. If you record your phone calls, the recording is also immediately available in the portal for playback and download for safe keeping.
Simultaneous Ring
Avoid sending customers to a voicemail message by using the Simultaneous Ring service. Calls are routed to two phone numbers at the same time, such as an office phone and a mobile number. Once the call is answered, the second phone line will disconnect from the phone call.
Voicemail
Voicemail services from easyinbound route missed calls to voicemail and allow callers to leave a message. The message is then emailed to a staff member, allowing the staff member to review the message on his or her smartphone or computer.

What is the difference between 1300 Numbers and 1800 Numbers?
We’re often asked “Is a 1300 number or a 1800 number right for my business?”, and the answer comes down to how you’ll use the number, and who your target customers are.
In our experience, we’ve found that 1300 numbers are generally more appropriate for Consumer-to-Business and Business-to-Business sales and service relationships where your intention is to project a corporate and professional business image to your customers and your suppliers.
As the business owner, 1300 numbers are also cheaper to operate than 1800 numbers.
1800 numbers are often used for product information lines, voluntary inbound surveys, charities, and other situations where its more appropriate for your callers to be able to call you for free from a fixed landline. Note that calls from a Mobile phone to a 1800 number may still attract charges to the caller from their Mobile provider.
