FAQ

Business number questions

More in the Help Centre, or call 1800 256 830.

Do I need a phone system to use a business number?

No. A number can simply ring your existing mobile or landline. Add Hosted PBX later when you want queues, extensions and the apps.

Can I have more than one number?

Yes. Many businesses pair a 1300 or 1800 number with local numbers for each city or team, all ringing the same phones or queues.

Can I get a memorable number or phoneword?

Tell us the digits you would like and we will check what is available. Premium and phoneword numbers are allocated through the government’s Smartnumbers system; if you already hold one, you can bring it to CloudLine.

Is there a contract?

No. Numbers are month to month, with no lock-in contract.
