Overview
1300 Australia is an Australian provider of business phone numbers, established in 1997. It licenses phone words and standard 13, 1300 and 1800 numbers to businesses, and offers inbound call plans with time, date and area based routing, IVR, voicemail and call queuing, managed through a self-service portal. It was formerly majority owned by Telstra, was the subject of an acquisition agreement with Uniti Group announced in December 2019, and describes itself as a subsidiary of Uniti.
An inbound number does its job by delivering calls to an answer point, usually a landline, a mobile or a phone system. Businesses review that setup for ordinary reasons: a contract or plan term is ending, the office is moving, the phone system behind the number is due for replacement, or they want their inbound numbers, phones and internet from one carrier that deals only with businesses.
Summit offers 1300 and 1800 inbound numbers alongside a cloud phone system, SIP trunks, Microsoft Teams Calling, business nbn with a static IP and business mobile, all on a network we build, own and operate. Summit Internet is an independent carrier and is not affiliated with 1300 Australia.
How Summit Helps
-
Inbound Numbers on the Same Network as Your Phones
We provide 1300 and 1800 numbers and can answer them on the phone system we run for you, so the number and the phones that pick it up sit with one carrier.
-
A Cloud Phone System With Every Feature Included
Our Hosted PBX starts from $10 per user per month and includes auto attendant (IVR), ring groups, call queues, voicemail to email, call recording and mobile and desktop apps. We can preconfigure your handsets and ship them to you.
-
SIP Trunks for the Phone System You Already Own
If your business has an on-site phone system that still does the job, SIP trunks start from 2 channels and scale up or down as your call volumes change.
-
Calls in Microsoft Teams
Answer your calls in Microsoft Teams through Direct Routing. You keep your existing Microsoft licences, and we provide the calling.
-
Fax to Email and On-Hold Messaging
Add fax to email and on-hold messaging, so callers waiting in a queue hear about your business rather than silence.
-
Business nbn With a Static IP
Put your phones and internet with one carrier. Business nbn is available nationally with a static IP included, and speeds up to 2000/500 Mbps on full-fibre nbn. For sites that need dedicated capacity, we offer Ethernet over fibre.
-
Voice Prioritised on Our Network
When your internet connection is also Summit's, voice traffic is prioritised with QoS, so calls are not competing with downloads and cloud backups.
-
Backup That Fails Over Automatically
4G Backup switches to Australia's biggest mobile network (98.8% population coverage) if your primary link drops, and fails back automatically when it returns. Add business mobile SIM plans and your phones, internet and mobiles arrive on one bill.
How It Works
- 1 Tell us what you have
Tell us what you have
Share your inbound numbers, how calls are routed today, the phone system or mobiles that answer them, your internet service and any contract end dates, and we will map out the equivalent Summit services.
- 2 Get a clear quote

We recommend inbound numbers, a cloud phone system or SIP trunks, plus internet if you want it, and put it in writing.
- 3 Set up and test
Set up and test
We build your call flows, ring groups and queues and configure your phones while your existing services keep running.
- 4 Port your numbers
Port your numbers
Where your numbers can be ported, we lodge the port. Keep your old service active until the port completes, because only active numbers can be ported. The ACMA says single local numbers generally port in 8 to 15 days, and multi-number ports can take up to 30 days.
- 5 Cancel the old services
Cancel the old services
Once your numbers have moved and everything is working, you cancel your previous services.

We recently moved our dental practice over to Summit for phone services, and the experience has been excellent from start to finish. The team has been responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire setup process. The transition was smooth, any issues were addressed promptly, and communication was always clear and efficient. Reliable phones and internet are essential for a busy practice like ours, and Summit has delivered exactly that. A special thank you to Michael for his patience and ongoing assistance during the transition. Highly recommend Summit to any business looking for reliable service and great customer support.Read more

As a reseller, we primarily work with Summit’s 4G services and have been very impressed. The plans are affordable, flexible, and well suited to our customers—especially for internet failover solutions. The sales and support teams are responsive and genuinely helpful, which is why we’re proud to partner with Summit Internet. We happily recommend them.Read more

After working with another ISP for several months to deliver a critical internet service for a major international sporting event, we were ultimately advised that the required upgrade was unlikely to be completed prior to event week. This left us facing a significant risk to service delivery. After exhausting all other options (and a few sleepless nights) we came across Summit Internet. From the initial conversation, Allan immediately understood the severity of the situation and quickly engaged his technical delivery team. Michael “Radar” was on site within days to assess and finalise a solution. Despite challenging conditions, including large trees and other obstructions, he worked tirelessly to design and implement an alternative approach. Leveraging an adjacent building, a temporary NBN connection, and a wireless link into the comms room, the solution was delivered within 24 hours of the initial site visit. Not only was the outcome faster than expected, but it was also more cost effective and delivered higher speeds than originally promised by the previous ISP. Over the course of the event, the service handled terabytes of data and supported hundreds of concurrent users without a single speed or performance issue. I cannot thank Summit Internet, particularly Allan and Radar enough for their exceptional service, technical expertise, and commitment to delivering under pressure. Highly recommended.Read more

Summit internet recently set my small business up with a local land line number and a soft phone that runs off an app on my mobile - getting my personal phone number off the internet and being able to distinguish between business and personal calls is a game changer. Whole process took less than a week, and is super cost effective. Highly recommend.Read more
