What is .TEL?

.TEL is a new domain that's set to revolutionize the way we keep in touch. Click here to register your .TEL names today, or read on to learn more.

Unlike a traditional domain name, its purpose is to help manage and exchange contact information about people and companies. When you give your .TEL to someone, you give them a single name, but access to a wealth of information.

The recipient simply adds the .TEL name to their cell phone, Blackberry, iPhone or address book and all the information goes with it.

Perhaps most importantly, the recipient never has to update any of the information. If you add more information, move, change jobs, telephone numbers or your e-mail address, the information is automatically updated.

Protecting Your Privacy

With .TEL, you decide who sees what information. You can make some information public, other information available to business colleagues, co-workers, friends or family members. The easy to use privacy settings even let you define access to information on an individual by individual basis or make some information accessible only by you.

.TEL Domains for Individuals

Everyone who exchanges contact information with others should have a .TEL domain. In your personal life, it's a fast, easy way to exchange information with friends, family and acquaintances. Since information is automatically refreshed, it will never become stale or old, providing the owner keeps their information updated.

The .TEL domain name helps individuals get in touch and stay in touch, no matter how often friends move, change jobs or change their telephone numbers.
