Facts about this range

• 1300 numbers route to whichever call centre the lease holder points them at, so the same number can be answered in several states.
• Leasing one requires no licence or accreditation, so the range is used by legitimate businesses and by aggressive telemarketers alike.
• Many organisations use a 13xx number for inbound support but a different mobile or landline for outbound calls, so a callback number may not match the number that rang you.

If 1300 491 178 calls you again

• It is safe to ring a 13xx number back to reach a company you already deal with, as long as you found the number yourself.
• If the call was an unsolicited sales pitch, ask to be removed from their list and register on the Do Not Call Register.
