Gold mobile numbers in Australia: the buyer's guide
Compare Digit Dealer's current GST-inclusive prices, memorable patterns, hidden digits and the transfer checks to make before buying.
Buying a memorable Australian mobile number starts with two decisions: which pattern you like and how much you want to spend. Labels such as gold, premium and VIP describe the appeal of a number, but the individual listing and transfer arrangements matter more than the label.
Compare the actual price
Digit Dealer currently lists 97 numbers, priced from $799 to $3,499 AUD including GST. These are prices for the number, rather than a mobile plan. The catalogue shows each current price; availability and prices can change.
Set a comfortable budget before comparing patterns. Our numbers under $1,000 collection is a useful starting point. Add the cost of the separate mobile plan and any transfer charges when considering your total spend.
Find a pattern you can use
Try saying a number as you would over the phone. Repeated digits and two-digit blocks can be easier to group, but the remaining digits still matter. Compare repeating digits, repeating pairs and lucky 8s rather than choosing on price alone.
Understand the hidden digit
The X in each listing replaces the third digit. Digit Dealer keeps full stock numbers out of public listings and metadata. Do not assume the X is a particular digit. Before completing a future purchase, check the sale details and when the complete number will be supplied.
Check the transfer arrangements before paying
- Confirm who is authorised to transfer the number.
- Check the receiving account details and identity checks.
- Ask whether a change of account holder is needed before a port.
- Check timing, costs and what happens if a transfer cannot proceed.
A change of account holder and a change of mobile service are different steps. Our transfer guide explains what to check and links to ACMA's guidance.
Current purchasing status
You can browse real inventory and prices now. Online purchasing and custom enquiries are not enabled yet. A listing or an item in your bag does not reserve or transfer a number. A memorable pattern also does not guarantee extra enquiries or a future resale price.
