Virtual phone numbers from Australia
Get your Australian phone number starting at just $2.95 for local numbers, $14.95 for mobile, and $9.95 for toll-free.
We offer numbers in 57 different Australian cities, including SMS-enabled mobile numbers and toll-free options.
Use any device or software
Any device can be used to make and receive calls with your FlyNumber.
- Any SIP or VoIP app on iOS or Android
- Mac, PC, or Linux computer
- Desktop office phone
- Any regular phone number (to receive calls)
- Any VoIP solution (e.g. Asterisk, 3CX, 3rd party VoIP)
Choose from 4 powerful ways to use your FlyNumber
1.) Use FlyNumber SIP to make and receive calls
- Make and receive calls with your Australia number in any SIP calling app from the app stores — Zoiper, Groundwire, Linphone and more — or on a desk phone. We help you set it up.
- Incoming calls are included in the number's monthly rate; outgoing calls are billed per minute from your prepaid balance, with your Australia FlyNumber as the caller ID.
- Register up to 5 devices, with voicemail built in.
- Pick your own Australia number when ordering — search by digits or letters.
2.) Forward the Australia phone calls to any standard phone number worldwide
- For a low per min rate you can forward the Australia calls to any regular phone number in the world.
- You'll see the caller ID of the person calling your Australia FlyNumber on the phone you're forwarding to.
- Change the forwarding number anytime via the FlyNumber panel.
- Consider our optional cloud phone system to enhance call forwarding options.
3.) Set the Australia number directly to VoIP
- Set the Australia number directly to a SIP/VoIP address.
- We'll send the Australia calls to a VoIP destination for free (unlimited minutes).
- High level call logs to help diagnose/debug any issues.
- Use any 3rd party VoIP provider or your own PBX system (Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, etc.)
- In your FlyNumber panel this is the Forward to SIP / VoIP Address option.
4.) Use our (optional) cloud phone system
- An optional add-on: a full-featured cloud phone system for a flat $14.95 per month, covering your whole account.
- Add routing logic to your Australia FlyNumber — voice menus (IVR), ring groups, business hours, call recording, and up to 30 users.
- Quickly and easily configure the call flow on a digital grid type canvas.
- Outgoing calls from the phone system use the same per-minute rates from your prepaid balance.
- Usually you don't need it — one person with a softphone is better served by FlyNumber SIP.
Note
Switch between them any time from your FlyNumber panel. A fifth setting, Park the Number, stops the number ringing anywhere (callers hear busy) with no call charges.

- Mobile
Mobile numbers require a photo ID (for personal registration) or company certificate (for business registration), a bill/statement/invoice no older than 6 months showing an address that matches your registration details, and a full address (no PO boxes).
- Toll-free
Same as local numbers—just your personal name or business name and a full address (no PO boxes).
Porting Your Existing Number to FlyNumber
Already have an Australian phone number? You can transfer (port) it to FlyNumber and keep using the same number with all our features.
We support porting for local, mobile, toll-free, and shared cost Australian numbers. You'll typically need:
- A recent invoice from your current provider
- Your account number with your current carrier
- Valid ID for mobile numbers
- For business numbers: company details
Submit the request from your FlyNumber panel — download the LOA there, then upload the signed LOA with a recent bill. We handle the carrier side and keep you posted.
